TYPOLOGIES
Typology is the study of types, and a photographic typology is a suite of images or related forms, shot in a consistent, repetitive manner. These photographic records of similar types [ease those who enjoy order and uniformity, they prompt us to pause to reflect on similarities and subtle differences between the subjects and in some cases they also provide an important historical record.
Sometimes it helps to have a theme to keep our mind and interest engaged with our photos. It gives us purpose and a reason to look differently at things that we might have already photographed. Be specific in your theme so that it is obvious that the photo series was taken with particular intent. A theme might include: color, the same type of flower, classic cars, your hometown, the life of a kid, architecture in a certain location… The list can go on and on. The idea is that your theme is specific but still gives you enough latitude to take interesting photographs. LINK: 328 Photography theme ideas (A List) ASSIGNMENT
