FREE Instagram Food Photography & Reels Challenge

Every year I host a FREE Instagram food photography & reels challenge with the aim of giving you the framework, support and inspiration to pick up your iPhone or camera more regularly, practice your skills and fine tune your photographic eye and videography.

Each one of my challenges is lovingly designed to allow you to establish a regular Instagram posting schedule and become part of a creative community. In addition, we always work towards establishing a cohesive Instagram grid with the goal of making your Instagram gallery irresistible. 

 

WHAT DO YOU GET DURING THE INSTAGRAM CHALLENGE?

  • ample time to complete your photography and reel creation challenges

  • several unique photography and reels challenges

  • a designated hashtag for the challenge

  • an e-mail with FREE inspiration, tips and Instagram advice

  • the chance to be part of a creative and supportive online community

 

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE INSTAGRAM PHOTOGRAPHY & reels CHALLENGE?

Everyone! Beginners, iPhone users or professional photographers. The challenge is about pushing your own boundaries and being as artistic and creative as you want.

 

SOMETHING SPECIAL!

At the end of each week I'll choose my favourite images and reels, I'll mention the photographer of the image in one of my captions and on Instagram LIVE (think shout-out) AND on Instagram stories. It's my way of saying thank you.

FAQ

 

  • Yes! Challenges will be set in such a way that you'll have lots of artistic freedom to interpret them in whichever way you like. However, challenges generally have a strong food and lifestyle focus.

  • No, you can use a regular camera, an iPhone camera or anything else you have at hand.

  • No, of course not. There's no pressure to “perform”. It's all about having fun and thinking outside the box. However, if at all possible I'd really recommend you try your hand at every challenge to reap the benefits of regularly taking pictures, fine tuning your Instagram gallery and developing your visual story telling abilities.

  • I promise I'll look at all the images submitted and heart the ones that make me smile, but I may not have the time to comment on every entry. However, if you'd like the opportunity to work more closely with me, I suggest you consider joining my online Foundation course. Its doors are opening soon, so read all about it here!

  • Yes you can and I strongly urge you to. I feel it's an important part of the learning process. Allow your fellow creatives to inspire you. And if an image moves you, show your appreciation, leave a comment and let this creative community flourish :)
