Where to find subjects for photography? 10 steps to choosing a theme for shooting

Any creative path raises doubts. Whether I do? There I go? Who needs all this? And in General - what to remove?!
Such questions are fettered and grieve the immature brain at the lack of answers - we want all at once, the universe provides "no," and then through the year.

The question of choice of source material to create a masterpiece - whether literary opus, libel in ves or photo in instagram - hard. Yes. It is very difficult.
In the past, when I worked as a chief editor of the newspaper, journalists, particularly freelance so got me the questions (what to write) that I sat down and in about 15 minutes made a list of the hundred most pressing issues on the agenda of the editorial Board. It astounded many. How? Sit, think, think, think, no injections in the brain do not save, and he immediately sat down and 100 themes for a quarter of an hour!


How? - Short guide on selecting subjects for photography and not only
1. Get it clear in five minutes you will have a theme.

2. No need to think, my brain is not particularly useful or even harmful. That can stir up your cynical nature? Nothing? Oh Lee.

3. Divide your photographic world into two halves - with people or without. Will become easier. I, for one, do not see (yet or anymore) sense to create a picture without the person in the frame. I'm interested people. Think and narrow searched twice. With the man or not.

4. What we look for in a photo when viewing a photo kilometers? We are looking for emotions. That's why all the pictures of anatomicopathological" - shit. There are no emotions. Where to get emotions? Everywhere. They are all around at bus stops, on buses, in the Dorm, in hospitals, in the morning polecenie, old women in subways, in the police, students and even the tram conductors. I hate naked photos of Montreal and its walls. But! -

5. Was in a posh 5-star hotel on the shores of the Baltic. Baltika beautiful and all that.
On the walls hung at great pictures of the wedding photographer (no, not mine). At first I couldn't understand what's wrong. What causes dissonance in me and incomprehensible kirdyk. The photos were excellent. But! They were all out of the country bounty! This photographer boasted how he is able, not only here. Here, sorry, he can't. The mood is not the coconut milk from the sky is not pouring, naked beauty is not wag priests - in short, no inspiration. Looking at his impeccable quality images I felt nothing. Pacifiers. Soulless emotionless miscarriages. Forget five seconds after viewing. Them neither a bounty nor even priests. Although priests are a lot of whom have saved and will save.

6. If you find it difficult at first to understand what the emotion in the picture, let it be sex. No, not to remove sex and think about sex when shooting. Even if you fotkaeste brick, think about sex. I'm not kidding.

7. Later it becomes clear that any honest emotion is sex.

8. Technically not care how you shoot or even write. With time you will realize that the object in the center is not very, unless the General emphasis that random frame better staged, the smaller details - the easier the picture is perceived.

9. Color or BW? In most cases, black-and-white image of the winning color. Blurred in motion, better frozen. Live better dead. Perspective too. If there is one. Catch, find the angle. Better ten angled than one stupidly in a forehead.

10. So where to get themes? And hell knows! The universe is infinite, open the window, if you live on the first and fotki passers-by! Come on out to the yard and fotki old women. Go to the clinic and fotki other women. For entrance to the factory - workers. The café couples. The market is frozen merchants. In the fishing pavilion - flying carp. In the subway - the rush of people and the metro. Come and see how everything moves around, keep your mind away and understand it all hinges on you, it's moving, because you move. You only have to press the trigger. At first it will seem that no masterpieces and interrupt. However, I dare to assure you, they are. You just haven't see them. Leave that nepodal, let him lie down, lie down, to rest my eyes and calm down - then and see. If you listen very carefully wound on a mustache, everything that I wrote, add to favorites, not to forget, ask me a question in the comments, if that is not clear, then definitely you will get the result.
I wish you luck and a great staff!
