Nurture Photography is a seasonal photo challenge series that encourages participants to capture beautiful images through tips and tutorials, inspiring weekly prompts and personal feedback – all designed to nurture one’s creative vision and technical know-how.

The Nurture Photography Autumn Challenge will run from October 5th – November 16th and is open to everyone regardless of skill level, time commitment, camera equipment or geographic location.

Let your photography flourish

Join our burgeoning community of photographers. Stop by each Friday and share your favorite images inspired by one or both weekly prompts. We’ll have a few freebies, photography tips and tutorials and a whole lot of inspiration along the way.

Get involved, be inspired and let your photography flourish.

Here’s a look at our inspiring weekly prompts:

Just a few more details…

Not experiencing autumn in your part of the world? No problem. All are invited regardless of geographic location.

Two prompts to choose from each week! Share your favorite images inspired by one of our weekly prompts. Or both. It’s totally up to you.

Each Friday, stop by and share your favorite images inspired by our weekly prompts by linking directly to your Nurture Photography Autumn Challenge blog post or Flickr photo, not your blog’s home page or Flickr Photostream.

The linky will remain open from 9am Friday – 9am Thursday CST. Don’t forget to visit and comment on the previous entry in the linky list.

Each week, we’ll bring you photography tips and tutorials to get your creative photography juices flowing.

We’re sharing the photography love and showcasing our talented photographers by pinning some of your lovely photos to our Nurture Photography Inspiration Board.

We love Instagram just as much as you do! We’ll be on the lookout for your beautiful fall photos, so be sure to use the #nurturephoto hashtag to receive a little bit of Instagram love.

The Nurture Photography Challenge has taken to Facebook! Stop by, “like” our new Facebook fan page, ask questions and share your work on our wall as well.

Last, but not least, don’t forget to grab our lovely button!





Grab your cameras, let your photography flourish and share your favorite photos with us during the Nurture Photography Autumn Challenge. We can’t wait to be inspired by your lovely autumn photos!

    I feel like my good pictures are still a result of accident rather than purpose, so if this means I can learn a few things and give myself a challenge, I’ll give it a go! Do I need to do anything other than drop by on Fridays?
