12by12 Photographic Challenge 2015/2016

The 12 by 12 Photographic Challenge is a year long challange, where a new challenge is set every month by a professional photographer. Each challenge challanges the way in which they are approached and the way participants think about what they will photograph to meet the challenge requirements. This also challenges the participants to think how they will also compose, frame and take their photograph series. Entries are then submitted to the challenge photo pool on Flickr where they have the chance at being selected to be placed into the challenge's photobook at the end of the challenge year and shown to the world. My submissions to some of the challenges can be viewed below in the gallery.
