Hi Maxx R, sure people will be along to help but you have only named 4 also would you explain Structure do you mean architecture or something different like texture, may be it is me but I don't understand what is meant by structure as to me it means something like scaffolding.

OK, We have,
Architecture
Macro
People
Commercial
& Nature
Not sure what you have covered and what angle you are taking: for instance you could talk about the types of textures found in all 5 of your different subjects. Or you could discuss the technical aspects of taking images of these subjects or again the colour rendering of each.
What sort of angle are you taking, if we know then it is easier to offer suggestion.

General advice for all would be try different angles, don't just rely on being in one spot to get the photo you want. What looks good from one position could well be excellent taken from another.

Hi Maxx, the more info you give us about what you want to know or need, then the more help the guys can help you
I am sure someone can help you, you just need to be a bit more specific as to what you want to know xx

First thing I would suggest is looking at shots you really like that fit those categories and trying to copy them

Hi Maxx
By coming from an academic background peerhaps I may offer some advice that may be of use to you?
Have you thought about looking at each style of photography you describe in turn and discussing the relative merits, comparisons, and contrasts of the different 'compositional rules' as applied to all? I'm sure that would provide your tutor with a more focused and interesting read opposed to simple discriptions of what Macro, structure, Nature, etc... are?
Good luck.
