    THERE YOU WEREN’T BY SEAN FLANIGAN

      My brief is called There You Weren’t. My hope was to capture urban environments and those who inhabit them in a completely unassuming way.

A blog cooperative to inspire, renew, discover and stimulate creativity.

Every week one artist will be selected and given a photography brief (created by YTYKY Creative HQ OR by a creative brief submitted by the public).

The artist will be given seven days to complete the brief by providing around 10 images in response to their particular assignment. Each artist will also submit a written post, explaining their experience with the assignment as well as their thoughts on the experience as a whole.

GET INVOLVED!

Nominate a photographer who you would like us to send the challenge to! (If you would like to do a challenge yourself, get somebody to nominate you :)

We are always on the lookout for new and exciting briefs to offer to our selected artists! If you have an idea for an innovative brief OR if you have any feedback on how the project can be improved at all, we would love to hear from you. Please read the nominations page.
