I Need Help With My Photography Project!

[GeorgiaEmily]

I will be starting A2 photography at college in September, originally it was our choice on what we did the project on for the entire year but it has now been changed. We were each given a word and with that one word we have to do a full project (one school year) on that word. I got the word 'Harmony'. Obviously the first choice would be to take photographs involving music but I based my exam work last year on music. I really need help because I cant think of any ideas for what to do, all I have on ideas is maybe harmony in religion? Id be really thankful for any ideas.

Harmony in colours?

Harmony hair spray.

Harmony can also describe 2 or more things that sit (figuratively) happily together. Off the top of my head examples could be a cat and dog sleeping together, strawberries and cream, the ying yang symbol, clematis growing through roses, the sea and sand, get my drift?

Living in harmony - loving relationships?

[shoota]

Candid street photography - 'reportage' style shots of public acts of affection. Gives you an excuse to get off campus and out and about.....
Festivals - people get very harmonious and affectionate at them - all in the cause of study you understand....;-)

harmony in design? in colour? in nature?

[Peter Pedant]

Recollect Gospel Harmony means both gospel music and the interlinking of gospel stories.

colour harmony ?

harmony in architecture- ultra modern with very old can work stunningly- harmony of texture, colour, religion, ages, creeds, animals tat you would think were natural enemies- the list is endless.

Living in harmony with the environment would be a good and topical theme.

Growing food, creating minimal waste and using natural products. Make a bat box, find a wild flower meadow, clear up litter at the beach.

The Guardian has a readers' photos contest every week, and the theme is usually just one word. This one is Harmony

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/gallery/2012/sep/28/photography-readers-pictures-harmony

So you can see how different people have interpreted the word. If you go through that section of the website and look at other weeks' contests you'll see a similar range of interpretations for lots of words. So you don't have to get hung up on a single definition. The harmony may be in the picture itself (like the man and dog lying parallel) or in the things portrayed (like the harmonious squirrels) or the patterns you see (as in the railway station).
