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?

The low paid/unpaid first few commercial jobs I did. Sky high expectations on a minimal budget. It literally changed my brain and made me consider my photos as a product to be delivered rather than just art or just accepting what was in focus or whatever. It was a good learning experience even if I would never do that type of work again.
