Final Project: Photography Series

Hello Students,

For your final photography project you will create a photography series. Your series should have a theme that can be seen in all of your final imagery. The theme is up to you, it could be a commentary on social issues, a color, a style of dress, a design principal, etc... choose a theme that will give you artistic freedom yet ensure a solid final result.
