Summary/Abstract: Narration as such does not appear only in literature or spoken language; on the contrary, it is implied in all kinds of art and communication. Although, generally it is a sequence of events in time and a photograph is “only” a freezing of o single moment, it is also capable of telling stories. We can, therefore, propose a thesis that narration is one of the main creative and communication components of this medium. What is a narrative or storytelling, how is a story, narrative, and narration defined by different authors? Addressing a reflection of this topic in the Slovak science appears to be difficult from the start – it remains to be a problem that because we have not been able to find narration in connection to photography in domestic publications, we are working only with relevant foreign sources. We believe that the following pages could become a foundation for further studies.
