15 Photo Ideas, how to be creative
It does not matter what are the subjects that you photograph, or if you prefer to capture your pictures in colors or black and white. The fact is photography is out there to help us keep records of moments of how we see the world, sometimes images impossible to others to see, but that through our lens, we can show it to everyone. Photography makes us see everything in a different way. The amount of themes within photography is really extensive, but even so, sometimes we may feel lost or without inspiration.
The fact is, within photography there are plenty opportunities everywhere. All we have to do is look closely and put our creative side to work. So whether you are a professional or just practice it as a hobby, I set up a list with 15 ideas for you (we all lack of ideas from time to time, that is a fact).
Besides being a street photographer, I am also a travel photographer. A fine art street travel photographer. That long name embodies a lot of ideas. And with ideas come creativity. Although I am obsessed with harsh street urban photography, I have also a few other themes in my website that happened along my career and that I am also fond about it. Let me inspire you!

*Architecture
This is one of my favorite themes along with street photography. I love everything about architecture. Being a huge fan of Bauhaus, to bring the circles, triangles, squares and play with details, lines, forms and designs is easy for me. If you like architecture, you can read all about techniques and ideas in my previous post here.
*Bridges
Bridges are an engineering wonder and they have its own identity. Whenever I think of it, passion and mystery comes to my mind. It seems bridges tell stories to us, magic tales.
“Bridges are metaphors for everything in life, … The bridge is not just about getting back and forth between north and south. The bridge is about connecting our communities.”
Jim West
*Coffee
I love coffee. Actually, I am addicted to it. Black, pure, strong. Whenever I visit a city, I go for a coffee first. Everyday life? Coffee in the morning, afternoon, evening and night. Big mugs. Full. Coffee is a status, a way of life, a reflex of yourself. Coffee shops are a great opportunity to shoot street photography and is also part of my series. What kind of coffee lover are you?
Clockwise: Florence, Vienna, Paris and Bologna
*Cycling
The idea of this series came from the countless amount of bicycles around the globe. Cycling is an unlike theme and easy to shoot it. It is a kind of photography where you can mix street, people, speed, light, slow motion, blur, stillness, transportation, way of life and sport.
