Subject Matter

I have been tasked with taking some photos for prints in the bathroom, has anyone any suggestions for suitable Black and White subjects. interior design is not my bag, I am more first and second fix.

Have you got any that you have already taken that are ideal to stare at while sat on the can?

It is a bathroom so water theme is probably the most obvious.

I am going to treat it as a new commission Suz,

Water is a good suggestion thanks !

A few years ago while living in Turkey an older Dutch couple we were friends with asked to buy some of my images, Marie was a bit older than mu wife & myself, she bought a few landscape images, then said have you any nudes, I said well yes back in the UK. Next visit home I printed a few 15"x12" B&W nudes, Marie bought 3 for her bathroom in Turkey, she was in her 80s

My late wife then asked why we had no nudes on the walls in our bedroom, here in the UK.

I have a colour landscape image on the bathroom wall, on the can my back is to it, yes it's water themed a lake on the Glyders.

Brilliant, I just need to find a sixties toilet with a pull chain.

That would suit the mood of the room nicely Lindsay

Whatever you go with it has to be a contemplative theme, for obvious reasons.

Fits the decor. also as the room with least light best place for an R3 colour print.

That suits the theme nicely, I suspect many have urinated at beautiful views all over the country..

Could be a good theme! I was going to suggest someone sitting on the can and a scene from Bates' motel shower (shower curtain, steam and a big dagger in hand), but then I realised that you meant photos for hanging in the bathroom, not taken in the bathroom!

How about dried, cracked mud in the bottom of a dried out reservoir (save water). For me, beach scenes, beach huts, pebbles, shells waves crashing on rocks etc.
