Theory
Repetition can be appealing, but too much of the same thing can be boring.
Instead, take subjects which show repetition but with a slight difference:
- Similar objects, of different sizes or focus
- Similar objects, of different colours
- Similar objects, in different positions
Examples
[
Pencils I - the variation here is colour, size and position - the ends of the pencils were all lined up, and the difference in their lengths was entirely down to how much they had been used in the past]
[
Windows Within Windows - foreground windows repeat uniformly, their reflected counterparts all suffer from different distortions in the glass]
[
The Table Setting - a simple found still-life shot - the wine glasses, condiment set and red gerbera, each of different sizes and gradually getting less sharp as they get further back]
[
Floral Details II - the blooms repeat in different positions and gradually less focussed further back in the picture]
