For me it has been a great practice to visit the same subject close to my home again and again and it has taught me many things:
- How different lighting affects images, until today I am often astounded how much light can affect my images and I constantly learn about new types of light and with which subjects they work
- It is a good way to improve compositional skills, because you can compare different compositions of the same scene an see which compositions worked and which did not
- It helps to discover new perspectives, with time the known perspectives will become boring and I will feel an urge to discover new ones
Well that’s at least how it works for me, but I think it won’t be that different for you. I wrote this article mostly to reflect on my own photography but I hope it might give you an idea or two as well.
