Wow. A lot of people are suggesting to look at other people's photos, or look at other forms of visual art. I would only do this as a last resort.

I would rather suggest that you try something you have never tried before. It could be a certain photographic technique you have never tried, a totally different style of lighting perhaps, or try a drastically different location for your shoot. If you always shoot with strobes, try available light this time. If you always shoot indoors, go outside this time. If you always shoot color, try shooting with B&W in mind. You can also look for unusual places to shoot. Try the inside of your car, a phone booth, a walk-in closet, a tennis court, an urban basketball court with pavement instead of a wood floor, an alley with lots of gritty urban character, the front steps of the local police station, rent a very fancy hotel room--just find something different to shake things up for you.


I make that reconstructing statement because it was discussed in a thread I started. It was kinda tongue and cheek comment,

If none of this works, maybe it's time to take a break from shooting for awhile? (Only you can answer that question.)


good luck,
Glen
