What is a photographic memoir?

A "photographic memoir" is a memoir that is mostly based on photographs. It's a collection of photos that have accompanying text. It's also more often called a "photo memoir."

You could think of a photographic memoir as being noire than a photo album but perhaps a little than a full memoir or autobiography.

A photographic memoir has more information about photos than a photo album which often only has a short capition, but it will not does not need as much detail as a book because the photos provide much of the information for the reader, which can make a photo memoir easier to write.

Photographs provide many details of the people or places, that would have been difficult to describe for inexperienced writers, so when writing a photo memoir, the writer only has to tell in the story of the photo, not describe the photo itself.

If the photo shows a house by a lake with three children, thenthe writer only has to tell who the children are and what they did at the lake. The description of the lake and boat and weather is told by the photograph.
