“A rite of passage occurs when you move beyond photographing what you see and begin to actively manipulate a scene or subject to produce better photos.”
This month’s Photo Challenge is a tricky one, but it also offers photographers a huge amount of freedom. Your assignment is to set a scene in front of your camera and capture it. You can read how one pro did it here.
