How to Come Up with a Photographic Concept
If you have been in a rut, or you are trying to learn, but you're 'stuck', try concept photography. Concept photography can take your skills to a whole new level.
Steps
-
1Look at other's work. Not just in photography, either. Look at everything around you and put some thought into what it can be conceptually.
-
2Have a message. Something that you want to say. It needs to be about something that you love, or at the very least, like a lot. Otherwise, you will get bored with it and never finish. It's got to matter to you.
-
3Come up with ways of portraying that message through the camera. While the sky is the limit, try to keep your expectations realistic.
-
4Try to maintain a more dynamic and creative feeling in your photos. This is what will reach out to those you are relaying a message to.
-
5Always keep your audience in your mind. If you are trying to reach out to some 30 somethings; it will be quite different than trying to reach out to a teen skateboard community.
-
6Make sure your photograph will tell a story. If you are going to make it part of a series, you will need it to tell a story in and of itself, but still be part of the whole series.
