Photo projects (help suggest some more-centric)
So here's a few ideas I've got lined up for the near future. All fairly clichéd, but its for my own pleasure so I'm not really too bothered.
- Night buses
- Cheap cafes
- Regents canal at night
- City workers on their lunch
- From above down onto crowds (including use of tripod/blurred motion)
- People in phone boxes
- Old mans pubs
- Postal depots in the early morning
- The area around city airport
Can you suggest some other things that would make a good photo project? Mine are a bit samey, I could do with some outsider input.
Ta very much.
bus stops in shoreditch
I think the last thing Shoreditch needs
is more no-talent clowns like me taking photos of it and its inhabitants. But bus stops is a good suggestion. I'll put it on the list.
take it off again please.
too late pal
you'd better get round here with some tippex if you want it taken off the list
Arm wrestling competitions
Manual worker attire
Shoes
shoes whilst being worn or just shoes by themselves?
arm wrestling comps would be crucial. As would tricked-out shop mobility rides
Shoes being worn
from shoe level, with a bit of sock/leg/trousers/skirt thrown in for measure.
Ok, It has been added
any more suggestions?
Jeez you don't want much do you?
just keep the ideas rolling fun boy
Old people having McDonalds and drink Cola and stuff
always looks slightly weird/amusing
there is a mentally handicapped man who stands outside KFC every morning
If I had absolutely no soul or modicum of respect for human beings I'd photograph him.
Old people in fast food joints is a good one.
I'm not sure I could do it
it just seems fundamentally disrespectful. I think I'd deserved to get knocked out for it right there in the street
yeah I know you weren't being dead serious
but some people would actually do this
again, seems too disrespectful
same goes for the twatty students photographing drunks passed out/crying on benches round where I live
Good one, it has been added
keem em coming
I was in American Apparel on oxford street the other day
the people who worked there were hot. But dressed like 80s prostitutes. Also the clothes were rubbish, and the whole place had an unpleasent air of hip desperation.
I like their hoodies and t-shirts
and the girls who work there are really hot.
These have been my thoughts on American Apparel, thank you for reading.
Tell me about your project on nihilism
are they Germans? Is it all about Flea?
what were the photos like?
describe them to me / links?
Thats a good idea
I will defintely do this
pictures of other people taking pictures
well meta
hard to execute this one
plus in reality it'd just be pictures of dogs
thats a good idea for once I've developed a bit more skill/style
I'd like to get the same person to be photogrpahed in numerous different locations wearing the exact same clothes / hair style / expression. So like in a shopping centre, the beach, on the bus, in the woods etc.
people who are listening to music
i always wanted to do this, and have the title as what they were listening to
in what setting?
Live? At home? On headphones whilst out in public? This is a good idea. Photographing people rifling through vinyl in a record shop would always look cool
bus drivers
you get some pretty ace rebel types in London who shun proper uniform and instead go for the 80's leather fingerless gloves and wifebeater look.
'rebel bus drivers' is what I just wrote in my notepad
excellent suggestion Gaz. I bet there's certain bus routes that are real hotspots for these bad boys.
they're more prevalent in the outer London badlands
it's like Mad Max out there. I used to see a lot when I worked in Wood Green/ Green Lanes and got buses outwards to the North Circular etc.
