THE PHOTO CHALLENGE HAS ENDED
GET READY TO SUPERCHARGE YOUR VISION
It’s easy! Join the challenge by entering your email address in the box above. Each week you’ll get a new assignment delivered right to your inbox. Read through that week’s tips for the assignment, view the inspiration shots, and then go out and take your own. Then share your shots and connect with your fellow photographers in the Photo Challenge Facebook group!
Taking photos is easy, but learning how to take great photos that speak to your own unique artistic vision is considerably more difficult.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with expert nature photographers to bring you an exciting new photo challenge concept designed to supercharge your vision. Over the course of nine weeks, you’ll put your creativity to the test with a new assignment each week that will get your creative juices flowing and get you trying new things out in the field. The result? A stronger grasp on your own unique vision as an artist and a diverse new collection of photos for your outdoor photography portfolio.
Each assignment will feature detailed explanations of the technical and artistic aspects of that week’s featured topic, plus inspirational photos to help fuel your creativity. Each week there will also be a guest expert on hand to provide their own unique take on the topic, as well as offer additional tips and ideas.
You won’t need any expensive gear or exotic travel locations to complete these assignments either. They’re designed to be completed anywhere you happen to be, even in your own backyard. Because when it comes to photography, it’s not the gear or the destination that matters. What matters is your own unique vision – join the Photo Challenge to help supercharge your vision!
