A bit late and all together now! 1. Create an image by letting go of control. Ideas: - Shoot without looking - Random settings - Move the camera mid-shot - Let someone else press the shutter - Embrace blur, chaos, imperfection Rule:You must choose your favorite “mistake.” 2.Create a photograph that makes something small feel huge or cinematic. Ideas: - Toys staged like real life - Macro shots that feel like landscapes - Forced perspective - Everyday objects turned into “worlds” 3.Identify a photography “rule” you usually follow… and intentionally break it. Examples: - Rule of thirds → center everything - Sharp focus → blur it - Proper exposure → blow it out or crush it - Clean composition → clutter it 4.Take something designed for one purpose… and use it completely wrong in your photo. Ideas: - A fork as a tripod - A book as a reflector - A mirror facing the “wrong” direction - Clothes used as backdrop or filter - Kitchen tools as modifiers - Shoot through something not meant for photography 5.Create an image that feels like something is intentionally missing. Ideas: - Negative space doing the storytelling - Cropping out the obvious subject - An incomplete scene - A shadow without the object - Half of something - A story with a gap 6.Create an image inspired by another artist — but interpret it through your voice. You can channel: - A photographer - A painter - A filmmaker - A sculptor - Even a musician (translate sound → visual 👀) 7.Create a photograph that tells a complete story in a single image. Guidelines: - There should be a sense of before and after - Something should feel like it just happened… or is about to - Include clues for the viewer 8.Recreate or represent a memory you can’t physically revisit. Ideas: - Childhood feelings - A past home - A relationship - A version of yourself - Something lost or changed Twist:It doesn’t have to be literal — abstraction is welcome.
