While out walking with your camera look for images that might have a narrative quality to them.

The Queen died is a description, but to say the Queen died and the King greaves is a narrative. In photography, an image can be a record or description of a place or person; or elements in the image might imply a narrative.

There are four types of literature: simple narrative, complex narrative, argumentative, description, and exposition. The first is a simple narrative that recites a chronology of events; the second complex narrative has a less chronological plot arranged to present the plot. Argumentative compositions attempt to convince by establishing the truth or falsity of a proposition. Descriptive compositions attempt to give a picture of a scene or setting. Finally, an exposition attempts to explain something through identification, definition, classification, illustration, comparison or analysis. In literature, you may find more than one type used in a composition.

This literature taxonomy may help you develop a narrative in a series of images or develop a typology. In photography, a series can create these compositional types through the juxtaposition of a series of images. Keep in mind that it is possible to create a narrative within a single image, such as the following image by Scott Olsen, which he calls Fargo Cafe.
