Photography and writing are the perfect match, as exemplified by works such as the renowned "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" by James Agee and Walker Evans, or "Long Story Bit By Bit: Liberia Retold" by Tim Hetherington, among many others. We could argue that the maximum exponent of visual storytelling is the ability to combine your photography with a powerful text to accompany it.
As authors, being able to expand on the nuances of your body of work, possessing the sophistication to offer different readings, and taking your audience even further into your story is every photographer's dream.
