Working With Photography Themes
Working with themes is a great way to practice your
photographic skills. When choosing a theme you can
chose:
1. Similar subject matter ( war, poverty, sports, doors
etc)
2. Similar technical composition (all black and white
photographs, all negative space photographs)
3. Similar mood or feeling (representation of love,
anger, fear etc).
It’s good to learn how to work within themes because
later when we get you to create a photography portfolio
we’ll ask you to organize it by a particular theme.
Likewise if you’ll ever have your work shown in a
gallery a theme is a must. Galleries will never just
place a mishmash of photos up on their walls. They need
to be organized in some type of thematic grouping.
Taking pictures is like writing an essay. You want it to
tell a story, take a stand, give examples, allow for
debate and have your work organized in such a way that
it’s understandable to the general public. Like a
writer, a photographer is a story teller. However,
instead of using words you’ll use pictures.
