What is the 52 Week Project?

The 52 Week Project is a photography challenge that encourages photographers to take 1 photograph every week for 52 weeks. Some people work on this project alone, while others collaborate with friends.

At PhotographyCourse.net, we believe in the power of community and motivation. This is why we created a dedicated forum where you can get all the inspiration and knowledge you need to have a successful 52 Week Project experience! Every week, you’ll be introduced to educational resources that will help you grow in different areas of photography. No matter who you are or where you live, you’re welcome to join us at any time.

This Challenge is Perfect for You If...

You're curious about different photography genres.

Photography is a big, big world that’s full of interesting things to explore. If you want to learn something new and get creative on a weekly basis, this challenge is perfect for you!

You want to make your photography portfolio stand out.

If you feel that something is missing in your portfolio, you might need to develop your skills and try something new. This challenge will encourage you to leave your comfort zone and experiment with different techniques. Every week, you’ll be challenged to think about photography from a different perspective and to use your camera in creative ways. By the end of this challenge, you’ll have a stronger and more eye-catching portfolio.

You can't take photos every day.

For this challenge, you just need to have one photoshoot every week. If you have more time to take photos, great! If not, don’t worry about having to catch up on hundreds of assignments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still not sure? Find answers to your questions here...

There's no fixed start date. Anyone can join at any time. Our themes are evergreen, no matter when you join.

You don't have to. However, if you want to make progress and develop your skills, we highly recommend taking photos every week. If life gets in the way and you can't keep up, feel free to take a break. The project will always be waiting for you in our community, so there's no rush.

You can submit as many photographs as you like for each theme. We encourage you to share your best photos to avoid spamming the feed, though. :)

Yes, you’ll receive a digital certificate when you complete this project.

You can use any equipment that you like for this project. However, many of our lessons focus on settings that are available in DSLR and mirrorless cameras. This doesn’t mean that you can’t use a smartphone camera to take photos for this project. We believe that it’s possible to improve no matter what kind of camera you have. If you need guidance, let us know and we’ll help you out!

We have fantastic news: from April 2024, we will launch our 'Great Big Photography World' podcast again! Stay tuned!
