Photo project

I've always been impressed by people who put together really well thought-out photo projects. For example, Rick Nunn, a photographer from Lincolnshire, recently completed Fifty of Fifty, a project which saw him take 50 photos over 50 consecutive days using a 50mm lens.

I'd like to do something similar, but don't want to plagiarise the idea (much). I also cannot stick to things too easily, especially when the nights are starting to get darker, so by the time I get home, it'll soon be dark and taking a photo is mainly restricted to indoors, flash photography or long exposures under street lights.

I'm thinking of doing a black and white project, as I've always loved shooting in mono. Perhaps I'll give that a go.

Any suggestions/ideas?

  1. Why don't you attempt to recreate classic shots from movies or something? Might be too difficult or alternatively pick a weekly topical news headline e.g. The pr release stuff?...like scots are more worried about litter in the streets than they are about drug dealers and take shots on the most topical and interesting one of the week...

  2. That movie idea sounds very interesting, although like you say quite difficult to achieve.

    I like the idea of a weekly project too. Thanks for the suggestions.
