David Hilliard is a photographer who specializes in creating multiple-panel narratives with forced and/or unnatural perspective. Unsurprisinly, he likens his pieces to a sort of visual language. According to his website, the reason he uses multiple panels to expound his concepts is their inherent ability to shift the viewer's focus to what is important in the overall piece. In effect, this linear narrative leaves little in regard to personal interpretation. Interestingly, the power of this narrative control is oddly reminiscent of film.

Overall, I find Hilliard's work to be most inspirational in that each of his pieces illustrates the concept with a high rate of control. It suggests meaning to the viewer in a way that requires little thinking to understand but inspires much more consideration to the meaning of these relationships and events at large.
