How Creative Constraints can improve your photography

I often recommend that you practice as often as possible to improve your photography. But what do you do when you hit a mental blank?

One idea I suggest in this podcast is to shoot a series of photos, or a collection. And, to make them more coherent, and to challenge yourself, I suggest you use a Creative Constraint.

So what is a Creative Constraint? Here are some examples:

Technical:

  • Shoot only in black and white
  • Use only one lens
  • Limit yourself to manual focus (or full manual operation)
  • Limit yourself to 36 exposures

Time-based:

  • Shoot the same scene at the same time each day
  • Only shoot for 15 minutes in one location.

Subject or theme:

  • Only photograph shadows
  • Only photograph one colour
  • Only hands or feet

Locations:

  • Inside your home
  • Within 1km of your home
  • Only through windows

If you would like to challenge yourself further, take the 14-day challenge.
