About 52 by 52

A weekly photo challenge is set by fifty-two accomplished photographers throughout the course of a year.

Each week the 52 by 52 members interpret the photographer’s challenge in whichever way they feel appropriate and submit a photo to the Flickr group.

The project aims to stretch its members creatively, encouraging experimentation in terms of approach as well as aesthetics. Community is an important aspect of 52 by 52 and the support of the group will be helpful to spur members on throughout the year.

Weekly challenge projects are nothing new for sure but we believe what makes this one unique is the thought-provoking challenges set by a varied range of professional photographers who come from a wide range of photographic disciplines. It’s a chance to gain an insight into how well respected photographers approach their art as often their challenges will be reflective of their own practice.

The project started on the 1st of September 2011 and will run for a year, it’ll be possible to join the project at any time during the 52 weeks. You can keep up-to-date with the challenges by subscribing to our Mailing List, RSS feed, Facebook Page or follow us on Twitter.
