Creative Photography Prompts to keep you using your camera.

I went to college for photography after a year and a half undeclared haha and, I loved it. My photography professor would always give us shooting prompts that would teach us lighting, different areas of media, color, and more. You either had one hour to take all the pictures or a week. Once taken, you would upload and start to edit, sometimes though, you were required to just show the raw images. Once you edited them, you had to pick 5 to 10 images to showcase in a collage. Which picking photos is very hard. haha

I loved getting to do this and I miss it. So I thought why not? Why not make a blog documenting my photo prompts during my down time. We all have down time in photography and for me, I have updated my branding to how I like it so now what? Of course there is always marketing to be done, but I want to stay in practice of taking photos and being newer to the full time scene, I am still gaining models for concept shoots and photography friends. So these prompts are a way to capture things with and without others.

My first prompt took some time to think of because I really did not want to have to use google. Well, I thought I do live on a horse farm so there are flowers and birds all around. Maybe I can use that? Then I remeber there is an old home site, now just a pile of bricks, but that is it. I am going to walk up there and see if my brain will come up with something.

The prompt is Old Things Left!

Just grab one camera and one lense. I grabbed my lense Sigma 35 mm Art becuase it is newer for me and I want to learn on it some more. :) For the prompt, use or find something old. I understand that not everyone has an old home site haha, so anything that is vintage will work. This prompt is to get you to work on angels, lighting outside, and camera settings, also editing. If you are like, I have nothing old haha. Your prompt can be, Object Outside. Here you will just pick an object that you find interesting, can be anything. Then, take it outside. The point of this exercise is to photograph outside in the daylight.

Once done with your prompts, edit them and pick 4 images! Post on ticktok and tag me - @destinyruthphoto or send your final images to my email - destinyruthphoto@gmail.com or just comment them to this blog!

I would love to showcase everyone's work on a seperate blog, will credit the photographer! Submissions are due by Sunday, June 2nd at 11:59! Let's build a community that helps eachother to thrive during those down times! :)
