Personally, I absolutely love working with constraints. I have a few very very clear ones:

• Work in square

• Work in monochrome

• Use a 50mm equivalent prime lens

• Use manual focus

• Set aperture manually

• Process minimally and in lightroom

• Finish in Sepia and print on one paper

I also have a few other constraints I often use. There are around projects I have often named, like:

• Monumental Monolyths

• Our Love Affair with Trees

• Ferns

• Australian Native Orchids - photographed in as found in nature only

What constraints are you already using?

Write a list of the ones you already use. Whether it is all the time or just occasionally.

What constraints could you add?

Write a list of constraints you could add or use. Pick one, a new one, one from this second list.

Now go play with this extra constraint. Of course you may have more than one.

Post photographs of your restraint. Something that limited you. The walls of your box you can bounce around in creatively.

Post three photographs and tell us about your constraint you tried that was new.
