Many of us have dreamed of changing or inspiring the world with our art. However, that’s easier said than done. It can be incredibly difficult to stand out from the crowd when everyone’s striving for uniqueness. A change in perspective—figuratively and literally—can help.
The ‘Unspectacular Subject Photography’ Facebook group is dedicated to amateur photos that take extremely ordinary subjects and showcase them in a different light. We’ve collected some of their top photos to share with you. Scroll down to check them out! It’s perfect proof that you can photograph even the most mundane, everyday things and make them look magical.
Bored Panda got in touch with the team running the stunning ‘Unspectacular Subject Photography’ group, and the founder, Piet Reekers, kindly answered our questions.
We also reached out to talented photographer Dominic Sberna, from Ohio. He was happy to share his thoughts that could help amateur photographers out in their creative journey. Read on for both of our interviews.
