What is a body of work in photography?
1 Answer
A "body of work" in photography is defined by the consistency of theme and vision. It's all about deciding what kind of work to use to reflect a style and a vision. And it’s a way of presenting your work that distinguishes your style — photographers think about their body of work as communicating a specific manner in which to see and represent things.
