Exploring a subject with your camera can lead to some great images. What I mean is that after taking the first couple of images of a scene look at it from different angles. Pretend it is something you have never seen before. Making detail images by getting up close and check out the shapes, colors and contrast. Sometimes this can produce a much more interesting image than your typical ID image. Your viewer dose not necessarily to know what the environment of the image looks like.
Both the images in this post are from the same location and subject but tell different stories and could have totally different uses. The peppers drying on the roof and the ristas that have been finished and on display could be used to illustrate an article on the southwest in a magazine or a Textbook. While the close up could also be used for these projects I Like the graphic quality and would tend to use it more for a Fine art print or perhaps as an element in a page layout rather than an Id image.
Weather you are photographing in your backyard or you have traveled halfway across the planet to make photographs. Be sure to take the time to really explore the subject that you are photographing, You will be sure to be surprised with the results.
