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 Aubrey Bonetto for being the Winner of the Elena S Blair Education Facebook Group August 2024 Cover Photography Contest.

Way to go Aubrey!

Aubrey is photographer from the Denver, Colorado area! Let’s get to know her a little better with the Monthly cover contest feature!

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

I love the transparency of people to share the information, tips and tricks they have. There is no gate-keeping. Everyone is genuinely invested in the betterment of the community. I have learned and grown so much from the seasoned photographers contributing their knowledge.

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

You just never know the twists life will take. 5 years ago I was living a pretty safe and straightforward path as a successful designer in San Diego. Today I’m stepping out of my comfort zone to launch a photography business and raising my family in Colorado!

What is your favorite lens and why?

Really loving my 24-70 2.8 right now. I’ve favored my 35 1.4 for a long time, but the ability to zoom in for a detail without having to physically move (as much) or gain better context with a wide angle has been amazing to grow the variety in my galleries.
