2009 Projects
2009 brings a new year and new ideas. Last year I made a monthly journal of travels with my camera; a copy of the whole journal is available on the Tutotrials page. So, what then this year?
I've decided that I shall choose 4 specific projects this year; I usually find that if you have to look for something specific, it makes you think harder and you have to really search for it above the classic images that everyone else takes.
So, what 4 topics to choose? Whenever I travel I try to capture something about the place or something that gives a sense of the culture, etc.. So, this year I've decided to cover the following 4 projects:
I get to travel a lot and see different cultures, so I'll have to look even harder and try to capture the local culture by the transport it uses. I don't have much experience in landscape - to be very honest, I don't even own a polarising filter (yet) - which is why I decided to choose this subject area. This will really make me work rather hard getting to know this new discipline! You'd think it's easy to take a picture of a building, but there are many different photographic techniques that can make the same building look completely different, so I'm going to try just that. Transport Landscape Buildings You choose Originally, I was going to choose people, but it gets rather complicated with model release forms, etc.- so, why don't you choose a project for me? Take me out of my comfort zone, why don't you? Email me at advice@dhcphotography.co.uk with your ideas and I'll choose the final one by the end of the month.
You're welcome to join me in these project areas for 2009; send me a note/share your own projects and images, it'll be fun!
I was grateful for all the correspondence I received throughout 2008, from as far as Arizona USA to Perth Australia, so I would very much like to hear from any like-minded people across the globe. Send me an email advice@dhcphotography.co.uk .
