- 365
This has been attempted by a lot of people already, and is kind of overplayed. However, it's still good if you're interested in seeing how your personality grows and changes and is good practice for candid/portrait photos. Just take a creative picture of yourself, or the people you've spent time with once a day - every day - for a year.
- 52+ Challenge!
(Suggested by *minimishi)
This is the same idea as the 365, but is good for people to still work with the same concept even if they have a busy schedule (taking a different picture once a day everyday is kinda hard to do if you have school, work, kids, younger siblings, etc...) And with this, you would only have to take a picture about once a week!
- Focusing on color!
Do a series of pictures that focuses on the different shades of a specific color, or odd colors on odd things, etc...
- Changing face?
Take a straightforward picture of your face (or someone else's) everyday for x amount of time, once you're done take a verticle sliver of each portrait and merge them to create an image of your face over x amount of time.
not sure if I explained that well at all. sweatdrop
- Body Parts
This is pretty much self explanatory. Take pictures that creatively accent different parts of the body. (Collarbones, eyes, legs, hips, spine, neck, feet, stomach, etc...)
- Love/Hate
(Suggested by Jacesin)
Take photo's that incorporate the different emotions of love and hate, or combine them into one image.
- Fruits!
(Suggested by *minimishi)
Seems pretty simple right? Well, only if you make it that way! Try giving them personalities and photograph a story, carve into them and take photo's of the designs. Try adding food coloring to the inside, or make stamps out of them and photograph the prints! There's a lot more you can do with fruit than you think, and it makes for good still life practice all the same. Be creative with it!
- Wind
Now before you guys think I'm crazy for telling you to try and take pictures of something you can't even see, think about it. There are lots of ways you can photograph wind. Take photo's of lost shopping bags being blown around the trees, leaves falling, a scarf or a balloon, have a friend throw feathers or glitter into the air. You decide what gets blown away and you get good practice on movement photography. The only thing I suggest for this one if you're just starting to work with movement is start with objects that you can retrieve and try again with, because depending on the wind you might miss and you don't want to be all out of glitter on the first or third shot!
p.s. Anyone who's name is marked with a * in suggestions is part of the crew!
I'll come up with more ideas and add to this thread later when I have the time, untill then feel free to post your own ideas (which I may add to this list whee ), comments, or any photos you've done based on these ideas, whatever else, etc...
