11 Photo Project Ideas

It is always so exciting to start a new photo project. But sometimes you find yourself strugling with figuring out the topic of the project. So here I will list down some photo projects that might be pretty interesting to take on and complete. I truly love making project plans myself and I love seeing people doing it coming up with their own ideas about projects. In fact, I think doing a photo project is a great way to make yourself used to some kind of creative photo routine.

365 Days Project

Make a self portrait or a photo for a year, complete it with great three hundred and sixty five images of your life! It will take a lot of your time and you will get used to taking photos every day, as well as making yourself stick to a creative routine!

52 Weeks

If you are too lazy for 365 Days Project, or just ant to take some more time to make better quality and mote thought-over photos, this is the one for you! Think about the concept of the weekly photo all week long and at the end, make the best out of it!

Personality Case

Make a investigation about a person, stalk him/her, if you'd like. Follow one particular person (with his/her permission, of course) and make photographic notes about the daily happenings. Follow your friend or a person from some concrete workplace with a job you'd like to know more about. It can be so interesting to observe and report!

People's Shoes

Shoes are what a person walks with, what you put all your trust into to protect you from wet and cold feet! There would be no walking without shoes. Find people with interesting shoes and ask if you can take a photo of them and show it to the world.

Stranger's Style

Style and looks is what attract eyes to the strangers. Look around and you will find people with interesting style, wherever you go! Ask people on the street whether you can take a photo of them. Don’t make just one, combine more together to show all of the details and accessories.

People in Their Rooms

A room tells a lot about the personality of the person. Make a list of the people you know and would like to know a little bit more about them. Ask them if they would like to pose in their natural and most safe environment, in their room.

Daily planner

Everyone is different. So is their schedules and free time activities. And notes. So why don't you take a look with your third eye, the lens, on people’s time organizers. It will be not only interesting, but also eye pleasing, I can promise that to you!

Week Of Evenings

There are seven days in a week, seven evenings. Not that much, huh? But if you come to think of it, the evening of every day differs from others. I mean, in Monday you feel like the week is going to be so long, stressful and tiring, but in Friday you feel like you can lift the Himalayas with one hand! Make a series about with what feelings you associate the concrete evening of the day and put a story together!

Dreams

It is very interesting and useful to write down your dreams the moment you wake up. This way you ill not forget them and what an amusement the information will be! I did this one and I found out I am even more wicked in my subconsciousness than I thought. I have also dreamt about the conceptions of my yet-to-come photos. Make a photo that goes together with the concrete dream and make a illustrated dream journal!

Handwriting

This one I find particularly interesting, as today's world has almost completely forgotten the charm of handwritten anything. Write down a few key sentences about your day, about the ideas that have come into your mind or even make a favourite quote series. Scan the papers or photograph them. You can also put a little more effort and make it even more interesting, write handwritten letters to people who mean a lot to you and would very much appreciate a gesture like that. Don’t forget to take a photo of how the finished letter and envelope looks!

Dedications

Make dedications! Dedicate photos for what inspires you! It can be a person, a band, a singer, a single song, an artist, a writer, a book.. anything! I sometimes make kind of single covers for the songs I love and that makes me happy!

You can even create a separate blog dedicated to this project you chose, it's free and fun! Also, it is more easy to locate the people who ask about your project straight to the web page!

So, what is going to be your next photo project?
