Five challenges to push your photographic process forward

June 12, 2023

In the podcast this week, I offer up five challenges each with 10 outcomes to try that will help push you forward as a photographer. While some of them seem simple on the surface, each of these challenges can be a deep dive into your creative process and how to quickly understand the why and how of your work. So if you are up for it:



  1. Pick your 10 best images

  2. Pick your 10 most important images

  3. Give a physical print to 10 different people of at least one of the photographs from your best or most important group

  4. Pick 10 locations within 10 miles of your house and go photograph them

  5. Pick 10 pieces of gear and get rid of them.
