I'm taking a photography class, and for our final project, we have to turn in about 10 photos that all have to do with one theme or subject... but I can't think of any ideas. Examples the teacher gave were "time" (and the student took a picture of someone putting money in a parking meter and someone doing the 'time out' sign with their hands) or "portrait of a small town" (take a picture of the mayor, the oldest building in town, etc). So the theme can be very concrete or very abstract.
It CANNOT be a one-time event (like a concert or something) and it has to be something outside of school life, but readily available around here (I live in a small town in the midwest, so obviously I won't be taking pictures of mountains or anything).
Any ideas? I need to turn in my proposal soon! Waterfalls? probably not... sorry i just moved to the midwest, i'm not used to not having mountains, waterfalls, etc.
animals, pets

transportation- cars, planes, rivers, roads, bridges, parking lots, gas stations, speedometers, etc.

There are so many different themes you could play around with, just some quick ideas off the top of my head: noise, path, wanderlust, flutter, passage, airborne, novelty, sleepless, meh, awkward, recovery, waterproof, etc. I have a couple of series of "themed" photography on the go.
Windows is one of them; I think of these as eyes looking out. sometime it's the frame itself, sometimes it's what you see inside. I do tend to prefer older windows; they seem to have more of a story to tell.
Doors is another one; These are portals to somewhere or something else. Again, their shape, construction and age are all factors that I look for. What secrets to they guard? What opportunities await you on the other side?
Hope this helps. |
