Week 1: Self Portrait!
Extra Challenge: Use A Light (Off Camera)
Welcome! Bienvenido 欢迎 स्वागत أهلاً وسهلاً স্বাগতম Bem-vindo Добро пожаловать ようこそ Bienvenue Willkommen 환영
BASIC FACTS: Self Portrait is a picture of you, taken by you, during the week of the challenge.
There's a reason you see such a wide variety of languages in the sentence above ??. 52Frames is a truly ?global? community of creative photography enthusiasts. The first week of the year is usually when we have a great many new members join us on our photography journey, so I'd like to welcome all of you to our little corner of the Internet - our community members are helpful, kind, civil and loads of fun; you'll fit right in.
As is tradition, Week 1 is always Self Portrait week (not a casual selfie) - we encourage everyone to lose their inhibitions and sometimes face a little discomfort of being on the "wrong" side of the camera. This is when you're telling everyone: "Hey world, this is me!". Whether you choose to portray your quirks, passions, or vulnerabilities, your photo would do well to show off a unique facet of your persona. It's a canvas where you play artist and muse simultaneously, unraveling tales through expressions, settings, and subtle details. It's about baring your soul in pixels, capturing the very essence that makes you, well, you! The magic lies in authenticity—embracing imperfections, exploring depths, and painting a visual story that speaks volumes. And a self portrait is a portrait of YOU taken with whatever camera you choose by YOU.
So, be creative, be whimsical, be you. We can't wait to say Hi ! ??

Extra Challenge: Use A Light (Off Camera)
Think the Main Challenge alone ain't worthy enough of your photog skillz? Sweet - try adding the EXTRA challenge along with the Main Challenge to showcase your abilities.
This week, we'd like to see you Use A Light (Off Camera) (NOT the moon or the sun) for a Self Portrait.
Do remember, the EC is neither mandatory nor does it enhance your odds of being picked for any 52F honors. It's just an EXTRA challenge for you, if that's something you want to take on in addition to the Main Challenge. We intentionally design the Extra Challenge to be difficult for most, so only take this on if you are looking for an EXTRA challenge. Get it? It's extra. ?
