Master a Master: Weekly Photography Challenge
This week your photography challenge is to ‘master a master‘. The idea was suggested by Vanessa Almodóvar on our Facebook page and is a pretty simple concept.
Simply find a photo that you love from a favourite photographer and try to emulate it in some way. Hopefully in doing so you’ll learn something about that photographers technique that will help in your own photography.
Alternatively you might like to choose a painting from an artist that you love to inspire you.
Once you’ve taken your ‘Master the Master’ Images – choose your best 1-2, upload them to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to them or – embed them in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSMASTER to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks Primary Color challenge where there were some great shots submitted.

Photography can be a great career if you enjoy taking pictures and creativity. But to be a great photographer you have to know how the camera works and what each part does. If you don’t know, this article gives a great explanation.

We consider some of the photographers who shot Hollywood Actresses in the 30′s and 40′s to be Masters in their own right! We tried to create just such an image with some subtle lighting using a large soft box.

“Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe” Vincent Van Gogh
My 8 year old often tortures me for fun…I thought I might return the favor and have him pose as my favorite artist.
