A uniform or cohesive body of work makes a strong set of jury images. For artists who create work with a common theme or style, it’s relatively easy to choose which pieces to photograph for a set of images to jury with. It shows vision and growth within your medium. For other artists though, it’s more of a struggle choosing which images to jury with.

As you can see from the examples, because of their style, materials or treatment, much of what these artists create will work together.

And what would a good set of jury images be without some of my cute puppy pictures.
