Another week, another fun photography challenge! Are you ready to shake up your photography skills and refill your creative juices with another from the folks of SlickPic? Now on the 14th week of their 52-week Photo Challenge, the task is to capture Black and White photos.

In this challenge, use this timeless technique to highlight composition, contrast, and texture without the distraction of color. Your viewers should be able to focus on the story, emotion or specific elements of your scene. Whether it’s something you’ve already learned or a technique you want to perfect, this challenge makes a great creative exercise.

Need to polish your black and white photography skills or get some new ideas for this challenge? We suggest learning how to see in black and white for starters. It’s also handy to know how to create monochrome images using in-camera settings. Then, explore our extensive list of black and white tips, tricks and projects to help inspire you. Another useful resource is 500px’s 12 tips for black and white beginners.

In case you’re just joining, we also encourage you to check out the full info on the 52-week Challenge.
