Shadows and Silhouettes. This week, use strong light and dark contrast to create dramatic silhouettes and/or striking shadow patterns.

Golden Hour Portrait: The sun at sunrise or sunset makes a great backlight for a portrait. Use some fill-in flash. Advanced: Use three light sources for that perfect back-lit outside portrait.

So… what is Felix laughing at? Make us laugh for Week 37. Capture or create a scene that depicts humour or one that will actually make the viewer laugh! #52WeekChallenge

Take a portrait shot that captures an expression of alarm, surprise or concern in the subject. This challenge should bring out the Director in you.

WHEELS are your subjects for Week 31 Challenge of the 52 Week Photography Challenge!

WEEK 30 Cool Down! A glass. Ice. A drink. Create an image that will cool us down on a hot summer’s day!

Show us a slice of life in any neighbourhood, village, town or city centre. Try to photograph your subjects without them knowing! Adopt this approach if you are comfortable with it.

WEEK 27 Explosion of Colour! Your photo should assail the senses with vibrant colour. Colour saturation in editing software should be avoided. #52WeekChallenge

Halfway Journey: It's Week 26, which means we’re halfway through this challenge year. Make an image with text that shows us what you feel you have learned about photography so far this year.

Make a Splash: Take a close-up of a droplet splashing into water. It’s an old favourite photography project, but there is a lot to learn every time you do it.

Take a shot of the first bird that you see whilst out with your camera.

Sugar & Spice is a theme that invites photographers to explore contrasting yet complementary elements. This challenge encourages creative interpretations of flavour through imagery.

Whether real, a camera trick or an editing illusion, your photo should make us believe in levitation.

ICM invites artists to experiment and redefine their visual storytelling, making it an exciting challenge for those participating in photography projects.

‘Leading lines’ is a compositional technique in which lines in your image guide the viewer’s eyes to the main subject of the photograph.

You’ve got one shot only (imagine it’s a film camera) – with no chance for a second shot! Think of this challenge when you next take a photo. Show us this, your first shot (even if you do sneak off a few more).
