Weekly Assignment Happy Thanksgiving to our friends in the US who celebrated this week! As you filled your plates, you might have given a thought to our Fill the Frame assignment.

Weekly Assignment Last week we did an assignment based on the rule of thirds. This week, your challenge was to Break the Rule of Thirds in a way that creates an interesting composition and an interesting picture. This assignment actually showed how difficult it is to break this rule in an effective way while still [...]
Weekly Assignment This week’s assignment took a trip back to the basics by looking at the Rule of Thirds. This is a compositional rule that suggests that you put your subject on one of the lines that divides the image into thirds. Our winner this week was sunwrites‘s keyboard image. The blue tint really works [...]
Weekly Assignment Glamour is an interesting aspect of portrait and fashion photography, and it can also be quite difficult.

This one won by a landslide. [...]

This may be because it often shows us more than we typically see or it may be because of the distortion that you get [...]
Weekly Assignment Our assignment that we finished this week was Street Photography. It can be especially hard to take photos of strangers, if only because they’re strangers. But it can make for some wonderful photos like those from our winners this week. Our winner this week was Draycat‘s “About a Boy”. The composition and expression [...]
Weekly Assignment We finished up our Bridges assignment this week, and I don’t think any of us burned our bridges just for a photo. But we had some really interesting look at the various bridges around the world. Our winner this week was ttyler‘s “Underneath”. This shot had it all. An interesting composition, good colours [...]
Weekly Assignment Whether you are looking into wedding/engagement photography or just want a nice shot of your parents on their anniversary, shooting a couple is a little more difficult than single portraiture. And that’s why our assignment for this week was Portrait Photography: Couples. We saw romantic couples, cute couples, shots where the people were [...]
