So for my photography project instead of writing about a story i kinda have to interpret it in photos. I'm lost with what to take photos of cause i don't really have anything interesting around me or any one to photograph any suggestions ideas anything will be helpful.
thank you :)

So you are trying to create a narrative with photos?

Sometimes the things that we see the most can be made interesting through a good photographer. Maybe you can try documenting something, like a runner's route, your drive home, a hike through the woods, or what you made for dinner [for example, the life and death of a lobster that you cook, it can be something as simple as that].

Try to think of your favorite movies, what kinds of stories do they tell? What do you find interesting? You can explore relationships between different things, or abstract ideas and concepts.

It might also help you to research famous photographers. Cindy Sherman did self-portrait movie stills that told stories. Andreas Gursky explores concepts of capitalism. Sometimes finding out about other people's ideas can inspire your own.
