2017 Weekly Photo Challenge

One way to improve your photography is to challenge yourself with a photo assignment. I’ve tired the “photo a day” challenges and find them to be overwhelming. Who has time to go out and take a picture every day? Try a weekly challenge instead. A weekly challenge gives you 7 days to create a photo for an assignment. Here is my 52-week challenge for 2017 and if you decide to participate post your image on Facebook and tag #photodavem in your images!

The Only Rule:

  • Shoot each image during the week it is assigned – do not go through your image archives and look for an image that fits the assignment. Feel free to re-shoot any images you have done previously but be sure to do it during that weeks challenge.

Feel free to interpret each weekly assignment however you like, just make sure that your photo reflects the assignment so that someone looking at your photo can see the concept readily and easily. Have fun with this assignment and don’t let it get you down if you miss a week.
