Finding Inspiration – Look at other people’s photographs

Whenever I feel I have plateaued or out of ideas for photos, I always turn to Flickr or DeviantArt to help me get inspired about photography again and give me some new ideas to try out.

Looking at photos that others have taken will give you ideas on what the photography medium can achieve. To get the most out of this exercise, try to look at work of different kinds of photographers and from different fields. You never know what could set off that brilliant idea.

When do you find a photograph that inspires you, you should bookmark them. There are various ways to do that – you could mark them on flickr, use Posterous.com or use Delicious.com. Personally, I find Posterous works best for me as it lets me save the image on the Posterous page as well as I can comment on what I actually found interesting about the picture.
