I have to make a photo essay in black and white about anything i want, as long as the pictures aren't staged, but i have no idea what to choose for a topic.
Any ideas?

Just go somewhere and photograph random people on your way. Cities are good for this. Maybe a few shots of your mode of transportation and such, but ask some random/interesting people for their picture.

If you live in the middle of nowhere, than I don't know. Go photograph a cow.

I'm going to say just walk around and take pictures of people. You don't even need to ask if you have a long lens haha. I even do it with a 50mm.

this one girl did a pretty artsy theme.
she had these crazy glasses and she asked interesting people to model them for her. she had 40+ pics of weird people in these glasses it was kinda sick.
the people have to be fucking weird for it to turn out good.


but its staged
