Photo project

If you have been into photography for a long time and you are no longer interested in single shots, then you should focus on projects that do not limit the ability to tell a story. It usually takes at least one year to create one photo project, although in general, the longer you work, the better it will be. A series of photographs has a much more powerful effect on the viewer. It's difficult to come up with a concept, but this is what will become the basis of your project.
