52 Clicks | Week 32 | Food Photography

Another week stepping outside our comfort zones in our Project 52. We're sampling different genres all month, and last week we tackled the very yummy but tricky food photography. One of the most common concerns from the p52 participants was the styling struggles. When we think of food photography, we often imagine the pretty flatlays with elaborate setups. If you've ever attempted one of these yourself, you know how very hard they are! Kudos to food photographers for making it look so easy because it definitely is not. But food photography goes beyond fancy setups, and it was fun to see how everyone made this theme their own. Be warned: you won't walk away from this blog without a major hankering for some food.

Are you looking for a little push in your creativity? If so, this is the right place to find it.

52 Clicks | Week 31 | Street Photography

Our Project 52 group is full of a wide range of photographers, from landscape and nature to documentary and portrait, and everything else in between. And every week, we're treated to how each and every one of us interprets the themes in our own style and genre. But this month, we're going out of our comfort zones and stepping inside different genres every week. August is all about genre sampling.

The first one was street photography, and it certainly didn't disappoint. Whether the p52 participants were in a big city or a more rural setting, they captured a slice of life in beautiful ways.

What genre are you itching to try out? If you'd like a push like this, feel free to join our project!
