5 Interesting Photography Projects To Keep You
Creative!
by rhea
Do you ever carry your camera around the whole day only to end up not taking a single
photo until you get back to the house? You may be a bit bored of taking the same things
everyday or even feel like you’re running out of ideas. Listed below are five interesting
ways to keep your shutters busy and creativity for 365 days!
If you love taking pictures but are looking for something that will keep you going, these
projects are something you should definitely look out for!
• 365 Days Project (or 52 Week Project)

2. The 365 days project is probably the most popular photography projects among
many projects. You can easily run into blogs or groups who are doing it. Typically, this
project involves taking a self-portrait everyday or taking a shot of something that
represents that day. It can even be something that captures your attention first thing in the
morning. The concept can be endless! As the project proceeds, you’ll find yourself getting
more and more inspired. If taking a picture everyday sounds overwhelming, try the 52
weeks project first, which consists of taking one picture per week and see how that goes!
• Going for a Photowalk

3. Photowalk projects are usually done in clubs or in groups by capturing images of the same
landmark from their own point of view. It’s a good way of improving your photography
skills since you can easily take a look and compare with what others have done. Go out for
a walk on the street or in the park and look for interesting things to photograph!
• Self-Portraits

A self-portrait project is definitely the most memorable one to look at later. Taking a
picture of yourself everyday might not sound so intriguing, but when you look at it a couple
of months later, you’ll find it quite interesting to see the little changes that you might not
have noticed in a short term. You can take self-shots from the same angle, or same
background like a mug shot. If you feel like all you get is a self-shot of yourself from the
same angle, use a tripod or use auto shutter release to get creative.

4. • Photographing A-Z

There’s a couple of ways you can go about the alphabet project. You can take pictures of
objects that resemble the alphabet or take pictures of objects or places that start with or
represent each letter. Or like the picture above, literally take a picture of A-Z from a sign or
notice.
Photographing the alphabet takes a little more time and effort than other projects since
you have to look around for things that resemble the alphabet, but it’ll definitely give you a
chance to pay more attention to the things you are surrounded with everyday. When you
get a chance to take a closer look at things that surrounds you, you’ll probably find more
than what you were looking for and you might even get a chance to appreciate things you
never thought you would!

5. • Colors, Food, Objects… Pick Something

Pick something and concentrate on that. Make a collection. It can be food whether its
pictures of foods you cooked or dishes you ordered at a restaurant. You can also pick a
color or go monochrome or select an object you like taking pictures of.
