What are the different ways artists and photographers use the triptych format? What can a three part composition offer which a single image can\u2019t? While the possibilities for composition and interpretation may be vast, I believe there are four broad categories which most triptychs will fall into.<\/p>\n
The first is the Three Part Narrative. Essentially the three images are telling a story \u2013 perhaps suggesting a beginning, middle, and an end. The three panels may show a distinct sequence of events, each contingent upon the other and the whole story is not fully revealed unless all three panels are included and viewed together.<\/p>\n
