A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

What is the one photography assignment that taught you the most? (alien.top)

I am looking for structured assignments which will help me improve my photography. I'm an experienced enthusiast - over 20 years of shooting - but I feel a bit stale recently like I've not learned anything new or looked at anything differently. Is there any assignment you have done which you felt moved the dial for you?

I was looking for much the same as OP but needed some structure. Took a university level continuing ed class where I had to shoot a different prompt every weekday for five weeks. It was hard, challenging, at times infuriating and the best thing (and the best work) I’ve done in years. Had great instructor and classmate feedback, took me back to basics and taught me a few things when I thought I really knew it all. Invigorating and humbling all at the same time.
