One of the main questions I get ask from amateur photographers is “What should I photograph?”, and in all honesty, Photography is completely subjective as a creative industry. I’ve seen photos of blank surfaces, and they’re described as artistic. It’s all about finding something you enjoy photographing, and fulfils your purpose; whether that’s a creative expression, financial, or just to look nice.
One of the main reasons I didn’t want to go into niche photography, was to keep variety in my work. Something I always used to enjoy doing when starting out was ‘Photography Challenges’ where you will take a different image every day. Not only is this encouraging you to grab your camera and do some shooting, but it also gives you different challenges along the way. Now I have seen plenty of these lists, however I thought I’d give you 30 challenges to try daily. Take a look!
You can also use the hashtag #RAPhotoChallenge to share your work with the rest of us! Good luck, and have fun!
