Another week, another photography challenge! Here’s one that you can tackle over the weekend. For the 41st week of their 52-week Photo Challenge, the folks of SlickPic want us to get creative with Shadows and Highlights to create dramatic photos. If you’re ready, it’s time to refill your creative juices and put your photography skills to the test.

In this challenge, the task is to use and emphasize the harmony of dark and bright areas in your scene to create interesting compositions. You can use both studio lights and natural light to capture visually interesting and dramatic images. You can also experiment with different genres to see where this technique resonates with your creative vision the most.

To help inspire you with some tips and ideas, check out this concise guide from Adobe and Courtney Slazinik. In case you’re just joining, we also encourage you to check out the full info on the 52-week Challenge.
