Monthly challenges are issued to our Photo Creative Facebook group as a project for you to work on, developing your camera and creative skills.
A Live feedback session accompanies each challenge on my Youtube channel.

Make a donation - support the community
It's not expected - but it is very much appreciated
We all like to be paid for our work and expertise. If you have gotten value from theses challenges please consider making a small monthly donation equivalent cost of coffee and cake once a month. It's very little to ask and when enough of you do it - it keeps the group going.
Current Challenge: Serenity
Serenity: A state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. The term often describes a tranquil atmosphere or a peaceful state of mind.
Create a photograph that expresses calm, peace, and quiet contentment. Avoid anything rushed or chaotic. Instead, invite the viewer to slow down, pause, and enjoy the moment. Avoid the obvious (sleeping dog / cat / person etc) and strive to be more creative.
Photographically, serenity is often created through a combination of:
- Soft, gentle light rather than harsh contrast.
- Simple compositions with few competing elements.
- Space around the subject, allowing the image to breathe.
- Stillness, either real or implied.
- Harmonious colours or tones that work together rather than compete.
- Balance and order within the frame.
Serenity is what happens when composition, light, colour, and subject all work together to create a feeling of peace. How will you interpret it?

Join my private online mentoring group
Photo Creative was only intended to be for 12 weeks and stemmed from a time in people's lives where they really had to re-evaluate their approach to photography, and life in general! - Lockdown.
Today it has grown to be a supportive, inspirational and fun - ever growing group of like-minded budding and experienced photographers alike!
Good luck, don't be shy and get stuck in! I look forward to seeing your images...
Best wishes
