August 2025 Monthly Cover Contest: Top 10 Finalists

The Elena S Blair Education Facebook Group is a photography hub where lifestyle photographers connect, learn, and support one another. Each month, we host the Monthly Online Photo Challenge, giving members a chance to share their work and compete for the group’s cover photo.

The challenge is simple: submit a favorite image, then the community votes. The top 10 images with the most votes are featured in this recap, and the winning photo becomes the group’s cover for the month.

It’s a fun, low-pressure way to get your work seen and recognized by peers who understand the ins and outs of lifestyle photography.
