52 Assignments: Street Photography

52 Assignments: Street Photography is a mission brief, a photographic workshop, a personalised journal, and an anarchic guide to putting the creativity back into your photography.

It is filled with prompts and projects, nudges and sparks, innovations and inspirations, to help you kick your photographic habits, step out of your comfort zone and add the creativity and character that is the essential feature of professional street photography.

The book features 52 colour-coded commissions and concepts with alternative ideas for composing, creating and printing eye-catching images from the street.

You will discover different ways of approaching your subjects; challenges and games that add a level of mischief and play to your work; ideas for using maps, books and signs to unleash your creativity; lists of the best festivals and events to attend; prompts for alternative subjects and themes; guides to removing clichés from your work; radical techniques for pushing your camera beyond its limits or using alternative cameras; and examples from historic masters; along with ideas for innovative approaches to processing and printing.

If you have any sort of creative roadblock in your street photography, this is the book to drive you right through it.

The rest of the journal’s pages are styled for you to add your own thoughts, notes, lists, Top 10s, technical specifications, quotes, and even sketches and doodles, creating a record of your own 52 photographic assignments.

These may be completed weekend by weekend over the course of a year, or dipped into every time you need to bring a new concept or creative approach to your street photography.

Book Review: 52 Assignments Street Photography

Street photography (52 assignments), challenges for your photography.

One of Keith’s Photography book reviews

What to photograph? There’s that feeling that you want to go out a take some photos, but you’re just not sure what?

If you have a hankering for street photography then 52 Assignments: Street Photography might give you the impetus you’re looking for.

As an area of photography that Keith hasn’t looked at since the 1970’s would it spark an interest?

Street Photography

Whilst the subject of this book is a long way from any professional photography I do, it was actually an interest of mine back in the 1970s, at school, developing my own B&W film. As such it’s one of those things that occasionally crosses my mind when I’m at a bit of a loss what to do.

Reading the book I could feel the full range of interest from – “ooh, that might be fun” to “not a hope – I really have no interest”*.

This in itself is helpful, you don’t have to follow the process steadfastly going from assignment 1 to 2 to 3, indeed, if this sort of stuff in unfamiliar, it might help dip your toes in the water picking just one to give a go. It’s fine too if there are areas you’re just not comfortable with, such as close-up shots of strangers [#27] – this is not a test where you have to complete every section.

Remember too, that you don’t -need- to show anyone else the photos. Indeed I’d personally avoid ‘street photography’ groups on forums and at clubs (especially competitions). You may like working with others far more than I do, so this is about your personal development – YMMV…

The sections have helpful notes on technique, such as lens choice, and useful suggestions for other people’s works to look at. Each section also has a space for making notes, although my personal dislike of writing in books and the limited space would suggest a small hard backed notebook.

Whilst I’m unlikely to ‘shoot film for a month’ [#42], there are quite a few ideas that I may try in respect of my interest in architectural photography and spaces – this might just be making more use of people in my shots (frequently they are absent) or looking to create a few themed collections of images and prints that go beyond the 2-3 shots I’m often asked to provide.

The ‘project’ approach

One of the key messages that you should take away from the book is that just randomly choosing to shoot a few pictures in a particular area is unlikely to give the results and long term benefits, you’ll get from taking a more planned and organised approach to a subject.

I almost don’t want to use the term ‘project’ given the number of ‘pro’ photographers’ websites where I’ve seen pretentious artsy verbiage aiming to impress some imaginary reader. To me, too much emphasis on ‘personal projects’ suggests a lack of real paying work – whoops, did I say that out loud ;-)

But seriously, if you can’t find a few assignments here to explore, then I’d suggest your photographic vision really does need a bit of a kick?

*The assignment with absolutely no chance? #41: Dogs

Conclusions

It took several sweeps through the book to see the point of some of the subjects, but there’s more than a few that have given me serious ideas to explore in the coming year – you may even see some on the site. It helps that I get equipment to test and reviews to write, just don’t expect me to wax lyrical about my ‘latest projects’…

Definitely a book to give to the photographer in your life who’s lacking direction, or perhaps spending too much time worrying about equipment and not enough on the photographs…

This research utilizes parametric and evolutionary software in order to create an analytical system intended to enhance efficiency within groups of complexly interconnected architectural program elements. The authors have developed a parametric definition that can diagrammatically arrange spatial volumes. These volumes represent the various building functions or ‘programs’ in terms of square footage. The driving parameter for these experiments is adjacency; if two functions in a building need to be connected, they should be adjacent to one another. The degree of adjacency is here viewed as the distance between the centers of programmatic masses. The distance between programs is scored as a numerical value, the lower the value, the closer the programs, and the better the score. The resulting model contains a complete set of programs all arranged within a larger volumetric container. This container represents the building shell. Each arrangement represents an individual iteration. The...

Background: Peach (Prunus persica L.) is a diploid species and model plant of the Rosaceae family. In the past decade, significant progress has been made in peach genetic research via DNA markers, but the number of these markers remains limited. Results: In this study, we performed a genome-wide DNA markers detection based on sequencing data of six distantly related peach accessions. A total of 650,693~1,053,547 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 114,227~178,968 small insertion/deletions (InDels), 8,386~12,298 structure variants (SVs), 2,111~2,581 copy number variants (CNVs) and 229,357~346,940 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were detected and annotated. To demonstrate the application of DNA markers, 944 SNPs were filtered for association study of fruit ripening time and 15 highly polymorphic SSRs were selected to analyze the genetic relationship among 221 accessions. Conclusions: The results showed that the use of high-throughput sequencing to develop DNA markers is fast and ef...
