The community in the Elena S Blair Photography Education Facebook Group showed up again this month for the Monthly Cover Contest!

The ESB Education Group is a Photographer’s Online Community which is one of, if not the most, positive Facebook Groups for Photographers out there. What happens each month is at the beginning of a new month we call upon the Elena S Blair Photography Education Community to submit 1 photo to the Monthly Cover Contest. Members from the Facebook Group Community then like as many images as they choose and whoever has the most likes at the end of the week gets their image featured as the Facebook Group cover photo for that month. Then we take the top 10 and feature them here!

Congratulations to Linda Charbonneau for being the Winner of the Elena S Blair Education Facebook Group January 2024 Cover Contest.

What is your favorite thing about The Elena S Blair Education Facebook Community?

I love connecting with my peers from around the world, and being encouraged and inspired by them.

If you could tell the version of you from five years ago one thing, what would it be?

Don’t be too rigid. Consistency is good, but you need to be a little flexible to grow. Try shooting different subjects than you’re used to, in different locations, at different times of day, in different light. Even if you decide the result is not for you, you’ll have learned something new.

What is your favorite lens and why?

My 35mm f1.4 is basically fused to my camera at this point! It’s lets me get close to people so we can connect during the session and also lets me get good wide angle shots when I back up.

This photographers online community has so much talent and are so incredibly positive and encouraging! Check out the rest of this months top 10!

Here is the rest of the top 10!
