I have to take a series of pictures that portray how photography has evolved as a skill, art or hobby.

Do you have a film camera? You could take a series of shots in black and white film, to show where it started. Then use colour film for how photography developed into colour. Then you could take a series of digital shots to show where it is today.

A picture that portrays a hobby can be any picture that could be taken normally. such as a picture of you and a friend together. And then do it again but more developed maybe with a more unique artificial lighting to show the skill that can be delivered

Maybe you could take a picture that you really like, maybe one of a landscape or one of you and a few of your friends. You could edit it online to show what the photo would of looked like if it was taken back when cameras were first invented and then continue to edit the original after photography and cameras evolved. you'll have a series of pictures at the end of it literally showing how photography has evolved.

I don't know what your resources are, but you should know someone that has an old 8mm camera, projector or 35mm slide projector and camera. If your lucky, you know where you can photograph darkroom equipment from the film spools and tank to enlargers and print. In my opinion, the thing that makes what could only be done by a few (serious photographers, business, and rich enthusiast) to the masses (hobbyist) is $$$. If you look at the expense of the equipment and compare the results, high end photography is affordable when you go digital. You can pull out an old photo album or box of photos no one hardly looks at and compare it to computer screen savers of family photos, emails with attachment. The darkroom is the computer and you can take it anywhere.

Once you get your mind around the subject, the difficulty will not be what you should take a picture of but how to narrow it down to tell the story in the best way.
