Photo Projects for Turning Your Own Photos Into Magazines

Most photography magazines tell a story from the beginning to the end. All the photos in the magazine issue have a theme. Sometimes you have to look closely at the pictures to see the theme and sometimes the theme is obvious. If you want to turn your photos into a magazine, you should first choose a theme. Then you can find photo projects that follow the theme direction you chose.

People Project
- A story emerges when you take photos showing everyday people doing everyday things within the theme that you chose. The actions people engage in, not knowing if others are watching them, makes for a candid photograph. Examples of this type of project may include people catching a cab, jogging, sight-seeing or having a picnic.
Water Project
- Water photographs portray calmness and tranquility or action. Examples of water photographs you can take may include photos of fish, still water, ponds, flowing water and waterfalls. Action shots of people engaging in water sports tell a story of their own, particularly the emotions on the people's faces and in their body language.
Home Project
- The home photo project can include everyday items around your home. These photographs catch the essence of daily living. You can stay within the theme you chose and photograph items you use daily, such as pots, pans, glasses, tables, chairs or keys. You can also photograph people living in the home going through their daily routines using many of these items.
Nature Project
- In the nature project, you can photograph anything with nature consistent with your theme. Items you photograph may include trees, flowers, grass, leaves, bugs or animals. The nature project is meant to capture nature in the wild and creatures in their natural habitats.
