How Creative Constraints can improve your photography

Send us Fan MailI 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 whiteUse only one lensLimit yourself to manual focus (or full manual operation)Limit yourself to 36 exposuresTime-based:Shoot the same scene at the same time each dayOnly shoot for 15 minutes in one location.Subject or theme:Only photograph shadowsOnly photograph one colourOnly hands or feetLocations:Inside your homeWithin 1km of your homeOnly through windowsIf you would like to challenge yourself further, take the 14-day challenge.It's time for another podcast...
