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!

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

The endless learning opportunities, support and new friendships!

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

Keep going no matter what. Changes in all areas of business and life are inevitable, be able to adjust accordingly.

What is your favorite lens and why?

Hard to decide between my Nikon 50mm and my Sigma Art 35mm, can I say favorite 2? hahaha. I love to use both because of the different perspectives they allow me have and the effects that happen when I shoot a certain way with them. When I use my 50mm, I could be the mom that is snuggling her partner and looking at her baby in their arms – even though I have to have a little distance when using it. Then with my 35mm, I could be anyone that close enough to observe certain details in a wider scene (more pulled back). I also love how the 35mm focuses on certain areas and then there is just the littlest bit distortion in the background, along the edges or side of the frame that can happen when I shoot wide open.
