Photography_LessonTopBanner.png Star in Your Own Series

This lesson is all about planning your major project, a series of photographs that show your unique personal voice. In past lessons, we explored the concept of a series and looked at artist Cindy Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills series. In this module, we’ll examine several series created by different artists, challenge ourselves to identify artworks that belong together in a series, and plan your own personal voice series of photographs.
