Photo Challenge Groups

Photo Challenge Groups are small groups of two to six Westbridge members who meet once a month to share photos and provide constructive feedback to each other. Between meetings, members create ten new images based upon a specific challenge topic. They upload their images to a photo sharing website (such as www.PBase.com) or email them to each other, so they are able to review them before their next meeting.

Photo Challenge Groups will help you grow as a photographer and an artist. By being challenged to seek out and create certain types of images on a regular basis you will have a reason, direction and a deadline to develop your creativity. By sharing images with others you will learn new ideas and your input will also help others grow too.

With our club growing rapidly, Photo Challenge Groups also help by providing small group participation opportunities. You must be a member to participate.

If your group needs assistance, contact program coordinator Tom Snide.
