Photography Challenge

In the Frame: What Sustains Me

At busy, demanding, and often uncertain times, photography can offer a way to pause, reflect, and reconnect. In the Frame: What Sustains Me is a gentle photography challenge inviting RPS Women in Photography members to create one considered image responding to a simple question: what sustains you right now?

We are delighted to offer a truly special prize for the photographer whose image is voted First Place by RPS Women in Photography members.
