52 Weeks - A Photography Project Topics


Are you looking for inspirational ideas for your photos for this year? Well, here are the broad topics that I'm hoping to stick to for each week of my photography project for this year. I hope they give you some ideas for your own project, I'd love to see your own shots too if you wanted to follow along with me!  

 Rules: I have set myself the goal of capturing one (or more) shots over the course of the week following that week's theme and posting them in a timely manner is very important of course ;)  I reserve the right to amend the topics if weather or circumstances prevent me from fulfilling the requirement of that week's topic, but I hope to stick to this closely as I possibly can!  

 Note: I've decided to pick from this list any assignment I want over the course of the year and as many as I want in a given week or day but to end up at the end of the year having at least 1 photo matching each topic/assignment, wish me luck!

Fishermen Returning Home - Second Watercolor Painting

Image
With the rain coming down outside and lack of any natural light I felt inspired to make a colorful landscape scene with green hills and blue slightly overcast skies with a zero percent change of rain. So of course using a photo I took in Iceland a years back wasn't going to fully fit the bill but I thought if I took a little be a artistic license with the original photo I could build upon it. Fishermen Returning Home I really feel happy with the outcome of this one having made an attempt at following 'wet on wet' technique with the sky. Also made an attempt at pulling down the colors to blend them from the darker purples to the lighter sky blues. I returned to the sky later once it had dried to add the fluffy little clouds layering in 3 shades of grey and white to give a feeling of depth that I really like. The Original Photo I feel like I need help on foregrounds for landscapes. Looking at the original photo and I felt like it was lacking a little something for perspective

Earth and Crab Nebula, Acrylic 5x5

Image
Crab Nebular  A weekend trip to the local art store lead me to find some '2 for 1' deals on some small black canvases that as soon as I saw them I thought 'outer space'.  And finding something like this on sale gave me the confidence to experiment and try my first every Acrylic painting on canvas (outside of a Paint night event last year).   3rd Rock From The Sun Having only painted a couple of times previously, I was excited to see that these turned out so well that I wish I bought more of these little canvases while they were on sale. I did watch many many tutorials on how to paint a space scene before attempting these, and definitely feel like there's plenty of room for improvement but I had so much fun on such a small canvas and using a toothbrush dipped in white paint to flick on the stars was a great messy stress reliever. I would definitely recommend doing this to anyone feeling intimidated with larger canvas sizes.
