Photo Creative

Free Photography Challenges And Feedback Sessions

A new photo challenge is 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.

The group is a lively, supportive community of over 7,000 photographers of all levels.

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: Pastimes & Passions

Enjoyable activities you love to do which act as hobbies outside photography such as food and fine dining, guitar, vintage motoecycles, horses, events, abandoned places... the list is almost endless.

If you’re thinking “Mine is walking in the countryside” and go rushing out to shoot a landscape. Make sure you include the "Walking In" part too. Or consider photographing someone else's passion or pastime because Landscape is very very popular and your image may be lost in a sea of them.

Whatever you choose, strive for great use of appropriate light, composition, and camera skills to make your image engaging - hopefully something you'd want to print, frame and hang.

Wherever you are on your photographic journey - give it your best shot and enjoy the experience…

Find Out

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
