Me:
I would like to start a new photography project photographing ordinary not very attractive but interesting subjects and focusing mostly on colors and composition.
Chat GPT:
That’s a fantastic idea for a project! Photographing ordinary, overlooked, or “unappealing” subjects can lead to some of the most striking images—especially when you emphasize color, shape, and composition. The photo you shared is already a strong example: the muted blue wall, the barred window, and that little pop of yellow flowers in the corner all work together beautifully.
Here are some suggestions for shaping your project:
1. Define Your Theme
- Focus on urban details (walls, doors, windows, pipes, textures).
- Or explore contrasts (nature vs. manmade, decay vs. new paint, harsh vs. soft colors).
- Even “the beauty of neglect” could be your concept—showing how time and weather leave marks.
2. Pay Attention to Color
- Seek out bold, simple palettes (like your blue wall with red trim).
- Look for complementary contrasts (yellow flowers against blue paint, green moss on rust).
- Use monochrome themes—shades of one color across textures.
