Of our own work?
I suppose "strong story" is subjective, left to the viewer to decide what story they see. I see a story element when I shoot environmental portraiture and I hope that comes across, although some are more apparent than others, which is fine, but I often try to not be too obvious - but that's my hangup. lol. To me you want to be juuuuuust obvious enough, but not too much. You want to begin a conversation dialog rather than preach, if that makes sense.
A few examples:

In Port:
To a much lesser extent simple portraits can also offer a small bit of story, but usually it doesn't work as a narrative. For example, this has some story, but I wouldn't call it "strong" at all: I offer it only to show that often times we think we're doing narrative work, when in reality we are not:
If, on the other hand, I had shot him in a narrative setting either by himself or while interacting with someone else, then, there would be a narrative element. As it is, it is simply a nice portrait.
What are you hoping to see or discuss?

I make an attempt to tell a story, or at least depict certain emotions (solitude is often my focus) in all my shots. There may be a couple in my port that you will be interested in.

Here is a whole series that I did a while ago titled
Who Knows Who - each image works individually by themselves as well:

Excellent example, I dig them all.
Just tired of shooting the same old same old stuff. Want to move away from my comfort zone into some more profound story telling and artistic expression.

I think I have a very different view of this subject than many of the posters here...
OP, I would check out the work of Cindy Sherman:

Although an obvious rip off, I think this is a story.

The "Boxer" series in my portfolio might be of interest. Male nudity.
