The,photography is cool but the act of photographing is real pain in the fucking ass. When writer picks up a pen he makes words his bitch. What the fuck you should do with photography? You're always at the mercy of the,world out there.

If i want to explore the theme of death, evil and corrosive nature of time then how I fuck I should do it? Where I should look?

Read a book on DIY filmmaking and apply that to your stills as preparation for your artistic pinnacle that will be cinema. The most artistically accomplished form of photography is cinema, and trailing behind are the stills produced in a similar manner.

Cinema is more pain in the ass than photography. The fucking networking and budgets and knowing that guy and now you gotta go that party and now you have unlimited gear choices. The amount of people that are involved in production? It's insane.

I think staged photography delves into kitsch very quick unless you're a studio master with years of experience.

I like Francesca Woodman's shit. But I am a male and not pretty as her. She was pretty in Gothic sense. Big melancholic eyes and an erotic body with big tits. I have no models and I am certainly not a chad like Mapplethorpe either.

The absolute state.
Face it, you're not cut out for this. You completely lack the ability to come up with your own ideas, you have no imagination, you blame your shortcomings on anything you can point a finger at instead of accepting that you're the problem.
Maybe delete your social media, cancel your internet connection, sell your tv and spend some time THINKING for the first time in your life. Maybe go out in the world and get some real experiences instead of just reading about or looking at pictures and videos of other people's. Maybe do something about your lack of creativity instead of whining and begging for ideas in here.
Of course you won't, after all, none of it's your fault, right?

This is where project planning comes in. You need something you can realistically do. You also need something you can realistically do for a few years or long enough to build a meaningful body of work from.
Maybe if you work in a cancer clinic or war area you can do something. But it’s not realistic if you just are an everyday person in the 1st world for a project like that.
You still have your vision, you just need a different medium to portray it for this particular project. Things like writing or digital painting or 3D modelling software etc.
for photography, just think of another project or figure something in real life you can realistically capture.

Let me give you a real life example. I love cyberpunk and have been trying to do cyberpunk photography projects for a few years. Its just not working though, no matter how hard I try. I dont know any photographers pulling it off and even hollywood has never really nailed it. Cyberpunk had huge success in anime and that is the medium that I love it in to. It relies on not looking like real life, and having robots, guns, technology everywhere, crazy looking vehicles and cities etc.
The only thing with photography I see half work is when people shoot models in studios, then get cgi artists to make a custom background which would cost heaps. Also it so easily just looks like crappy cosplay unless the models outfit and props are amazing.
So I took up writing for my cyberpunk stuff and just write cyberpunk stories. Then for photography I found a couple of other totally different projects I am passionate about.
Photography cannot just do everything, it really shines to capture real life, its not great to create whole new worlds. Not without a ton of help from CGI or digital art.
I like you have a vision or project though, almost all photographers dont, I love looking through work when somebody had a vision and spent years nailing a specific project. I find them fascinating.

He has to overthink it. How else will he photograph death in the modern world where everything goes out of its way to hide death as nobody wants to see it.
I guess he could go photograph things relating to death like hearses, businesses that sell funerals, cars in wrecking yards that were involved in car accidents.
He will get mogged though by anybody with a camera in a warzone or place of poverty or with access to terminally ill people etc.

He also wants to photograph evil. Again the guy in a warzone will absolutely destroy him. How can you consistently and easily photograph evil in a modern 1st world country?

OP is going to have to think his brains out and get creative as hell.

You cant just walk around your block with a camera and take photos and meet a theme like OPs. That type of photo only comes from extensive planning.

bro, mate. the problem here seems to be with your creativity/inspiration.
I really can't help you with that but try to pose yourself a series of questions:
- WHY exactly do you want to explore these themes? (this one is like the most important one kek)
- WHAT do these themes mean to you?
- WHAT is your personal experience with death, evil, etc.
- What images and moods come to mind when you think of these themes (emotions such as anger, fear, sadness; places or objects you associate with death or evil or whatever)
- what visual artworks by other people, that you feel touch on these themes, do you like and do you think can inspire you? (Don't try to copy them, but look at films, paintings, photos of other people who explored these themes. Use them not as blueprints but rather try to understand what choices the artists made and how and why these choices relate to the themes)
and finally:
- what resources do you have? this is referring to both your knowledge, your tools (camera, etc), locations you have access to, objects and people you could photograph, etc. It's important to be very aware of what you can photograph before actually planning your artwork

meh I don't know how helpful this can be but I tried xd

Framing, timing, and technique?
Also, you really can’t make “your words your bitch”, you can make it retarded, but to actually make it meaningful art that other people might like is a lot harder than you’d think. Otherwise, we’d have every other person in the world being heralded as a great writer. Every stupid fuck “makes art”. Not everyone can do it in a way that many others like it, market it as such, or make it good enough to trick their rich friends.

An estimated 4 million books were published this year. Once you accept self publishing is an option pretty much anyone can write a book and release it and call them self an author. They are also protected by the fact that nobody is going to read there 200 page book to see if it’s good or not. I am actually writing one myself, it’s a fun hobby on the side. Words are definitely my bitch. If I want an 2 armies of 10,000 Roman soldiers to fight on the moon then it will be. It really puts into perspective how restricted a photographer is vs a writer.
