One of the best ways to grow as a photographer is to shoot, shoot, shoot as many pictures under a variety of conditions and constraints as possible. Photography projects, whether a self-made photo project or participating on a group project, forces you to produce pictures in a disciplined manner.
Professional photographers can be considered to engage in photography projects each time they accept an assignment. In most cases, the client determines what they want, and how they want the final images to look. Photography projects are a great training exercise for photographers, both budding photogs or established pros, to think in new ways and ignite the creative juices.
Some of the more common types of projects include seasonal themes, or the picture a day photoblogs. While these types of activities are fun, there are too few constraints to force you to think outside your normal shooting habits. In doing a little research, I have created a list of more defined photography projects you may find of interest:
- Burning lightbulb
- Food Photography
- Blogger Faces
- Scanner Photography Project
- Cemetery Photo Project
- Game Boy Camera Color Photography Project
- Day 19 Polaroid Project

I stared for thirty minutes. You got me.
looking at this pic now, its like a lamp.
I think you are right but how did they get the mushroom cloud top?
Looks like a brain to me.
i have a feeling it is one of those fake flames with the chiffron material shoot under a certain light to make it look pink. the air that moves the fake flame has made the fabric into a mushroom cloaud shape. The bulb is obviously an light bulb.
