Over the last couple of week’s we’ve run weekend photography challenges and had a lot of positive feedback from readers – so I thought it might be time for another one. Whether you get it done in the weekend or later in the week isn’t really the issue – the idea is simply to give you something to go away and work on and to know that hundreds of others are doing the same thing.
This week’s challenge builds upon one of the hottest posts from this week – 7 Photography Projects to Jump-start Your Creativity – it’s to take a self portrait.
In that post Jennifer suggested the 365 Days challenge where by you shoot one portrait of yourself every day for a year. Of course this a massive commitment but I know many readers have participated in this challenge (and have gotten a lot out of doing it) but this weekend I want to take the ’self portrait’ idea and set that as your challenge or task for the weekend.
Once you’ve taken your self portrait – upload it to a photosharing site and share a link to it in comments below.

- You might also find some inspiration in the ‘Self Portraits’ Assignment that we ran in our forums a couple of years back where there are hundreds of self portraits from readers.
