A photo project by Nate Moss
There is a common exercise that photographers use to enhance their skills. Pick a thing, maybe aperture, maybe a shape, maybe a style, and go shoot within that limit. Giving yourself a constraint helps you focus on one thing, or requires you to see things you might not normally pick up.
It’s this exercise that is the inspiration for my new photo project: “50 Limits”. 50 Limits is a 52 photo project designed to take me back to basics and get all the kinks out from endless months of being out of the game. It’s 52 photos, because there will be a before and after shot, each intended to represent the idea of 50 limits.
The Limits
Here are all of the targets or limits for the 50 limit project. As I make the photo for each objective, I will update the list here.
