All February in our Project 52 we are focusing on black and white photography, with each week having a specific sub-theme. Last week we tackled shadows. Experimenting with shadows is a great way to add depth and creativity with black and white photography, instantly creating visual interest with contrasting light within the frame.

See how the p52 participants used shadows. It's always such an overflowing source of inspiration looking through all their images.

There's still time to jump in the project if you're looking for a creative outlet this year.

The month of November in our Project 52 will be all about light. Fun with light, to be exact. We studied different types of light earlier in the year, and now it's time to be more creative and have fun with it.

Our first theme was shadow play, and a large majority of us struggled because of uncooperative weather not giving us enough light for natural shadows. Instead, we had to think outside of the box and come up with different light sources to create shadows. It was a great exercise to challenge us, because without challenges, we won't grow and develop new skills.

You can see for yourself how everyone rose up to the challenge by browsing these p52 participant images.

If you're interested in joining our photography project next year, let us know and we'll add you to our waitlist.
