The Art of the Photo Project

Photographers often receive great pleasure from making single, discrete images when inspiration and opportunity strike. But by creating a body of work that contains a series of images, we can engage more meaningfully with the process of storytelling.

Over six online sessions, commercial and fine-art photographer Andrew Southam guides and supports participants while he illuminates the steps for producing a successful multi-image project. We begin by discussing examples of worthy, coherent projects and then consider subjects that encompass workshop participants’ own work, special interests, and passions.

Andrew addresses crucial topics such as crafting a clear statement of intent before embarking on a project; using thoughtful sequencing of images to create momentum and bolster your storytelling; refining your editing techniques; and describing your work eloquently through text and powerful titles.

We also consider different ways of sharing photo projects, from web platforms to books and social media. Each session finishes with an assignment that furthers your individual project, and throughout we focus on finding just the right tone for your work.

You come away with new photographs and the confidence to apply the skills that propel your projects forward. Join Andrew and discover the myriad ways that a focused and compelling photographic series can reinforce your vision and purpose.
