Quick Kick January – Daily Photo Challenge
#QuickKickJanuary
For ‘Quick Kick January’ we have an abstract daily photo challenge. Take one abstract photo a day throughout the month.
Have fun with this photo challenge. You could try taking photos very close to objects, moving the camera as you are taking a shot, shooting objects at unusual angles or experiment with your own ideas.
A challenge like this is a wonderful way of seeing beauty and interest in things that you might not otherwise.
“Quick Kicks” are our monthly art challenges that you can complete in 15 minutes or less per day.

Tips to make the photography challenge a little more manageable
- You could take your photo during your commute or your lunch hour.
- Keep your eyes open and a camera or phone on you all the time. You never know when inspiration might strike
- Stop after 15 minutes.
Photo Challenge Ideas
- You could have a theme for all of your challenge photos – such as buildings or plants etc
- You could experiment with filters and effects after you have taken your photo
- Your photo doesn’t have to be digital, you could go old school and use a 35mm camera and film or an instant camera if you prefer
Optional
At the end of the month, why not make a little tour video of your daily photos (up to three minutes long) and send it to us?
With your permission, we may even feature your creations on our site!
And if you know any other artists who might also enjoy this daily photo challenge, why not encourage them to have a go!
