    My wife is doing a photography course, and needs to do a project, which will be put into public exhibition. Does anyone have advice on a good theme she could base her project on? She's asking me, and I don't have a clue.

    you know your wife better than any of us... does she have any interests or hobbies she could shoot. Does she have a favourite poem or song she could base her photos on.

    Far be it of us to tell you what theme she should be doing. There are as many possible themes as there things you can imagine. The choice should come from her. Then may she can express herself within that. That's what photography is all about. Otherwise she may do herself an injustice. :pac:

    yep, it needs to be something that she has a love for, an interest in, a passion about. Otherwise she wont do herself, or the project justice.

    You know her better than anyone, have a chat with her. I'm sure shes drawing a blank right now much in the same way a writer can get "blank page syndrome" so you need to help her clarify things.
    Have a look through some of her images and see if anything pops up through them, something she would like to explore more than just the couple of shots she has.

    Look at other photographers images, find out what kind of things appeal to her and she "wishes she could do".

    Google search brings up this option

    Some of these look interesting and challenging enough - even if none of these are 'the one' then it may steer the thought process.

    Else just make a more detailed google:p
