Are you looking for someone to set you an assignment? Like suggest a location you could go to and then give you a brief to take six shots for a brochure to help promote this location, but don't do all the normal same old stuff. Use your universal lens, your legs, to find a new angle to give a brand new aspect.

Whereabouts are you and we'll see if we can make some suggestions.

Photography is a creative medium and the reason they set you an assignment is to get you to think creatively you will not really learn much if you just ask some one for your ideas, well not till you have to work with an art director anyway.

also professionals have to get the image what ever the situation even if its lack of transport

so I'm afraid its time for you to show your creative side or wonder why you are in it at all

sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but its the way I see it

Hi
My creative side came out I used different angles of light using little candles (the ones for cakes easier to hide) glasses of water food colouring and a pitch black room, the only drawback was the limited amount of light the candles gave out so the coloured water had to be weaker than I would of liked it to be so the light of the candle flame gave its effect
