A photo series workshop focused
on your visual voice.
The Series Project began life as an experiment. There are many photography courses, technical stuff like how to light, how a particular photographer works etc., etc. Information and theory. What about practice?
What if there was a photographic course with a tangible photographic outcome specifically aimed at helping photographers to ideate and actally create new personal work?
We designed 2 programmes (one location based and one online) specifically as a catalyst to help groups of photographers refresh and refine their visual voices by completing a series of personal work. From scratch.
The courses covered everything; from conception and ideation, through planning, idea articulation, narrative & treatment to execution & edit selection. We then held 5 hour-long live webinar sessions over 5 weeks followed by 7 days shooting and critique on location in a carefully selected global city.
The experiment worked. Each attendee finished with a folio ready, PR-able photo series that echoes their personal style and purpose. Attendees won multiple awards, landed client briefs and perhaps more importantly each attendee interogated the “why” and “what” of their practice and emerged with a refreshed and refined visual voice.
Personal work is key. There’s no such thing as a successful commercial photographer who only shoots commercial work. Properly thought through personal work leads to commercial commissions and puts the photographer in control, showcasing the way you want to shoot. It drives the direction of your practice.
Art buyers and creatives are looking for photographers that can shoot campaigns.
A personal series that delivers narrative combined with a consistent personal aesthetic clearly demonstrates a photographer can shoot a campaign.

SERIES PROJECT LIVE ONLINE.
With the onset of the pandemic we adjusted The Series Project. Many advertising creatives and art producers were working at home and definitely spending more time online than ever before. As a commercial photographer the opportunity (and time) is there to be more visible to your current and potential new clients. You have a captive audience. Work that can’t be shot right now is backing up, waiting to be briefed when the time comes. It’s never been more important to be sharing personal projects with story and depth. Personal work is a huge part of remaining visible to your clients during Covid and staying relevant beyond it.
