This week we’ve published a couple of posts that relate to the topic of Family so thought it might be a good theme for our weekly challenge.
We’d love you to set aside some time this week to photograph a family member (or a close friend if you’re unable to be with family this week).
You’re welcome to photograph one of them or a group – either in a posed setting, candidly, in an environmental portrait or in any way that suits you (and them).
Here’s a few posts from the last week and further back in our archives to help get your thinking:
- 10 Family Portrait Dos and Don’ts
- How to Photograph Children
- 5 Tips for Young Family Portraits
- Unposed Posing: Tried and True Tips for Photographing Families in Natural and Fun Ways
- 7 Tips for Photographing Newborns
- 21 Sample Poses to Get You Started With Photographing Children
- 5 Tips for Photographing Children
Once you’ve photographed a family member
Once you’ve taken your Family photo upload it to your favourite photo sharing site either share a link to them even better – embed them in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSFAMILY to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks Converging Lines challenge – there were some great shots submitted.


Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
