A single photograph can be beautiful, but it often feels like a sentence taken out of context. A photo series, on the other hand, lets you develop an idea and draw the viewer into a narrative. The images begin to communicate with one another, and together they form a whole that is more compelling than any individual photograph. 

A photo exhibition can take many forms—from group and traveling  exhibitions to commercial shows or solo exhibitions. In this article, we focus on  solo exhibitions: a body of work with a unified purpose that expresses the photographer’s personal vision. An exhibition shouldn’t be just a visually pleasing display of “pretty pictures.” It should have  deeper meaning— it should have something to say. 

The night sky can be magical. You don’t need special equipment to photograph it, but you need to follow a few steps to get the most out of your night photos. Let’s take a look at the basics of astrophotography—whether that means photographing the Moon, the Milky Way, or a beautiful starry sky.

At first glance, winter can seem empty—little color, few plants, and not much movement. But in reality, it’s packed with details you won’t find at any other time of year. Frost creates delicate and prickly shapes, ice hides tiny bubbles and frozen flowers. Winter macro photography tends to be minimalist, with clean structures and simple forms, while melting ice can turn an ordinary twig or blade of grass into a surprisingly photogenic subject.  

We’re always learning as photographers. First, we master the basics. Then we add more techniques.

When choosing photography destinations in December, there are a surprisingly wide range of options. The northern hemisphere is buzzing with Christmas preparations, and cities are filled with lights, decorations, and shopping displays. For some, it’s a feast for the eyes; for others, it borders on kitsch. Either way, both perspectives offer great opportunities for a photo series. European mountains are often covered in snow this time of year, and experienced hikers can capture them in all their beauty. In the southern hemisphere, especially near the Equator, many people have never seen snow. The hot sun, warm weather, and often tropical climate offer a completely different experience.  

Photographing metaphors is an art that goes beyond the simple depiction of reality. Instead of showing what’s on the surface, it creates images that suggest, symbolize, and spark discussion. In this genre of photography, your perspective, memories, and inner world take shape—and the viewer gets the chance to work out what you’re trying to say, forming their own connection to your photography.  

Using a projector in your photography lets you combine a model with graphics, unique textures, or creative lighting effects. The result is modern, artistic, and often hypnotic. You can project color gradients, geometric shapes, or abstract textures onto both your model and the background, creating a look that would otherwise be difficult to achieve.  

UV, or black light, sits at the far end of the visible light spectrum. In the dark, it makes objects and materials that reflect this part of the spectrum glow. Whites react the strongest, but they’re far from the only ones. UV light is used in many fields, so why not use it for photography and create striking portraits?
