A door is an everyday thing, yet is often a symbol — of a beginning, a journey forward or inward, a mark of one’s home, or even a step into the unknown.
Doors make such great photographic subjects on their own. Here are some things you could consider:
- Look for clean lines and strong symmetry
- Enhance the vibrance of a colourful door or change to black and white to emphasise shape and texture
- Photograph with a person for interest
- Create a composition that tells a story
