New Artist Challenge - Alfred Stieglitz

[FBailey]

Thanks very much to Mary @mcsiegle for hosting the last round of the Artist Challenge, and to everyone who participated and voted. I was delighted (and surprised) to see my funny little kitten had won.

I have never hosted this challenge before so please bear with me if I make any errors. I'm going to say the opening date is from 01/09/23 and the closing date will be Saturday 30/09/23.

The artist I have chosen, after much deliberation, is Alfred Stieglitz - I've never come across him before but with a subject of Cloudscapes absolutely anyone on 365 can participate.

Here's a link to his work:

and here's a tutorial:

Please tag your pictures a-stieglitz and post here as well to keep the challenge current. Entries can be found here:

I do hope as many 365ers as possible will be tempted to join in, and I look forward to seeing your entries, either monochrome or colour!

Just to be clear does it have to be a cloudscape or can we do anything in his style?

[FBailey]

@allsop Because his obsession with cloudscapes has been hailed as his most important contribution to photography, I thought cloudscapes could make a good subject for the challenge.

@allsop I think you can choose anything in the style of the artist for the challenge - that has usually been the idea

[FBailey]

@annied @allsop I did say I was open to errors with this one! My reasoning was that his styles are varied and I thought judging cloudscapes would be a whole lot simpler (for me)! Anything goes then:)
