Weekly Assignment Flowers are gorgeous. We love to photograph them. But creating a good photograph of a flower can be challenging. Which is why our most recently finished assignment was Still Life: Flowers. Still life photographs can be tricky as well because there is an even stronger focus on composition and lighting than normal because [...]
Weekly Assignment We finished up our Still Life: Food assignment. Still life assignments are a great photographic challenge when the weather is less than cooperative, or when you’re looking for something to challenge your creativity.

Weekly Assignment We finished up our shopping assignment this week. And we saw many different signs of shopping. Our winner this week photographed something we’re probably all very familiar with this time of year, receipts. cruce‘s “Shopping”. It’s simple, and it’s a reality we face when we go shopping. Pieces of paper reminding us what [...]
