Tips for Planning a Photography Project |
|
|
Photography projects are a lot of work, often spanning weeks, months or years to complete. And, you’ll find lots of tips on how to plan and structure your project — the gear that you’ll need, the list of shots that you need to remember to take, the storytelling aspects of a project. If you page through my blog, you’ll even find advice on some of these topics.
All of these things could be considered the mechanical side of the project: What you will do when you will do it and with what tools. There is a whole other side to planning a photography project, one that should be considered at the outset of the project and, in part, should be undertaken as you work through each

This is more the theoretical side of things, or, I suppose, you could say, the artistic side, since most of the planning tips that I will outline here deal with creativity in one way or another. Take a look at the following thoughts — perhaps they will help you as you plan your own photography projects! |

The Great Artists: Frank Lloyd Wright: The Rookery |

I had the opportunity to visit a historic landmark building in Chicago, The Rookery. Located at 209 South LaSalle Street in the Loop neighborhood, the building was erected by John Wellborn Root and Daniel Burnham in 1888. It was the location of the Burnham and Root offices and is considered to be one of the pair’s masterpieces of architectural design. It is 181 feet high, twelve stories tall,
and is generally considered to be the oldest high rise still standing in Chicago. Its exterior load bearing walls and interior steel frame are considered to be one of the first examples of the blending of old and new high rise building techniques. The Rookery also has a strong association with famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright... |
