We think this prompt will give you freedom to shoot what you love with the camera that is with you!

This week our prompt is ‘Artful Product Photography’. Think still life, but with the added aim of moving a potential consumer to purchase the featured product or try your hand at a faux documentary style ala Elliott Erwitt. This is not an easy prompt, but it’s a great one to help build your observational skills, your styling chops and your ability to see the extraordinary in the ordinary.

This week our prompt for our Foto Rx 52 photo project is a most magical one indeed–light patterns. You may have noticed them in your every day and not given much thought to them, but we urge you to stop and capture these ephemeral beauties. We are going to link to some artists that have really harnessed these bits of light and added them to their portfolio of creativity, we hope you do too!

Our prompt this week for our Foto Rx Co. weekly prompt is ‘on black’. We want you to get dark + dramatic with your subject. You can shoot in color or do a B+W conversion (like we will be doing). This assignment relies on finding interesting light to make your subject stand out. You can choose everyday simple objects like this pear but a portrait would be equally as stunning. Think outside the box, we think you will be pleasantly surprised by what you can create with such simple subjects and the right light (even Ipad light could work, get creative!).
