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?

Asking to photograph teenagers in their bedroom sounds like the first step in meeting Chris Hansen

This was part of a bigger assignment, but access is a critical part of being a photographer. You need to be able to present yourself credibly. In this case, you have the parents and the individual to negotiate with. The photos were remarkable.
