Seven days, one subject, seven photos

Are you in a photographic slump? Have you run out of inspiration? Are you struggling to take photos? Set yourself a task. A creative challenge. Take one photo of the same subject every day for seven days.

We all have moments when we lack inspiration. As a photographer, you don't really know what to photograph. Or you aren't excited by the photos you take.

A creative challenge can get you out of that slump. It can take your mind off things, so you don't keep running into imaginary walls. In photography, that is.

I have done this too. One photo every month for a year. Or one photo every day for 85 days with an 85mm lens. It can be difficult to keep going, because it takes a lot of time.

There are many types of assignments you can give yourself. For example, 50 photos with a 50mm lens. Or 365 photos in a year, one every day. But all these assignments require a lot of stamina.

By keeping it shorter, it is also easier to keep going. Don't make it too difficult for yourself. Choose seven days. Take one photo of the same subject every day. Do this for one week. Seven days.

Choose something in your surroundings that is easy to reach. This could be indoors or around your home. Want more of a challenge? Limit yourself to one lens, one focal length.

Are you taking on the challenge? One photo of the same subject every day for one week?
