A photo project is a collection of photos that, together, tell a unique story. The photos match in style, feeling, message, subject and technique. When producing a meaningful photo series, you have to look critically at the story you want to tell. As a general guideline, you could say that a series of photos is and always will be more powerful and compelling than one random single photo. Consider your photo series as if you are telling an actual story to somebody; all your pictures should fit into and be relevant to your story.

The subject is the heart of every picture. The quality of the subject, therefore, determines the effectiveness of the communication. Before you start creating your photo series, you first have to define what you want to photograph.

The form of your photographs—comprising light, vantage point, and composition—is integral to your storytelling. These elements not only convey your expressivity but also guide the viewer's experience. Additionally, your individual visual language, or style, emerges from the consistent use of specific content, form, and technique elements. This style is what makes your work uniquely yours.

In photography, we can define style as the individual visual language, which consists of a combination of different recurring elements of content, form and technique. When you start creating your photo project, you first have to clarify your subject.
