Layering 

The idea of layering images to show a narrtive means mulitple photos can be shown within one  image. This means scenes can be expanded from more than just one moment in time, which therefore creates a wider depth into the image. Double and multiple exposures seem to be the most commen way of creating layered photogrqaphy, as it enables a series of images taken in the same place to be shown, representing the idea behind the image.

Post production is also commenly used within the element of layering, as it enables a series of photo's to be put together, for example within a timelapse. I like the effect this gives, as it creates more of a surealistic piece, which enables the piece to stand out far more than an ordanary double exposure.

Narrative photography is the idea that photographs can be used to tell a story. Allen Feldman stated that "the event is not what happens. The event is that which can be narrated" ~ Wikipedia
