Photographic Series Development

10 weeks · 0 milestones

Documentary or conceptual photographic series developed from initial concept through to final edited sequence. Triad: concept/ideation artifact (project concept and artist statement: what photographic question, subject territory, or documentary subject is being explored, with reference to at least 2 photographers whose work is relevant to this project and an explanation of how this series relates to and differs from their approach), technical execution artifact (final edited series of minimum 10 images in a deliberate sequence — the sequence is not a random selection of good images but a considered editorial decision about ordering, pacing, and the arc of the series), documentation/critique artifact (written project rationale: how the final edit was determined from the contact sheet, what sequencing decisions were made and why, what the series communicates as a whole beyond the individual images). Studio critique: photographer or photography tutor challenges the concept, the edit, and the sequencing decisions at a documented portfolio review — presenting 50+ raw images from which the 10 were selected is expected as part of the crit. Proof: concept statement, contact sheet or raw image selection document, final edited series, written rationale, crit notes. Verifier: professional photographer or photography tutor.
