The Elena S Blair Education Facebook Group isn’t your average social media space, it’s a dynamic community for lifestyle photographers who want to connect, grow, and stay creatively inspired. Whether you’re new to photography or a seasoned pro, this online group is a supportive and uplifting place to share your work, ask questions, find fresh motivation and submit to a monthly online photo challenge.
One of the group’s favorite traditions is our Monthly Online Photo Challenge, an opportunity for members to submit an image they’re proud of for a chance to be featured as the group’s cover photo. It’s a fun, low-pressure way to get your work seen and celebrated by fellow photographers who truly get it. Submissions are voted on by the community, and the top 10 most-loved images are highlighted in this monthly recap.
