Self-Assignments

MacBook Pro, white ceramic mug,and black smartphone on table

This section of the site was inspired by watching one of Faizal Westcott‘s videos. I really get stuck in a rut sometimes, and these self-assignments are a good way of encouraging me to go out and shoot with a particular goal or focus in mind.

The idea is to ignore all other distractions and concentrate solely on the brief to shoot a particular subjects. A single colour, reflections, one specific shape, shoes, whatever!
