I'm working on my final project for school right now, which is a photo book consisting of 24 photos plus a cover. After 10 weeks of drawing blanks on a concept the only thing I've been able to come up with is basic conditions under which to shoot the set. Those being that they will be shot in my living room and be scenes that I set up and light myself. Since I've never really been one for pre visuallizing concepts I decided to just start shooting. These are the initial shots I've come up with. C&C is appreciated.

Do you have a set theme for the photo book?
If not you need one; a consistent theme thoughout the book.
Remember to keep all photos to a set size, otherwise it'll look unprofessional.

So your theme is random stuff lying around your house?

You're gonna fail this project if you don't step out of the house.

Get the fuck out of your house, on to the the city, and shoot portraits of people, scenes that have people, stuff related to people, life in general. A cool idea is to spend the whole day doing that from morning to evening and presenting it in a chronological order in your book, perhaps 1 an hour for 24 hours. Doesn't have to be in the same day, and doesn't have to be spontaneous, get some friends to be models, talk to people and ask their permission, stage a few scenes.

Fuck, I really wanna do this now. If only my city weren't full of people who would kill for a pack of noodles.
