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?
For light: pick a subject like a statue or a building, and take pictures at different times of day.
For composition: taking fine arts classes, especially design. I feel like most photography classes only touch on really basic design concepts behind the “what” of making a composition work without going into the detail of “why”.
