A photo series is a coherent series of photos that are created during a shoot and usually follow a specific theme, style or concept. The images are thematically and visually related and are often published in magazines, on websites or in portfolios.

For models, a photo spread is important because they can show their versatility, expressiveness, and changeability. Depending on the assignment, it can be a fashion spread, a beauty series, or an artistic staging. Photo spreads often arise in collaboration with photographers, stylists, and make-up artists and are a central part of model work.
