The Enchanted Diversity creative challenge is here, in light of the Black Fae Day and Enchanted Asian Day movements. Here are some of the community favourites from the Fairytales & Fantasy with Bella Kotak FB group!
Our Creative Challenges are BACK! To kickstart the new monthly challenges we wanted to get to know our Fairytale and Fantasy community a bit better. Since we have lots of new creatives who’ve joined us since we last ran the challenges, what better than to introduce ourselves to each other with fantasy photography self portraits!
This week we wanted to get into the autumn mood and see all of your magical images that celebrate this beautiful vibrant season!
Scroll through for forests, witches, antlers, elves, berries and pumpkins galore!
For this week’s creative challenge, we wanted to see your One Shot wonders! We asked you to share your images where you were able to capture your creativity in camera! All these images only have color toning and retouching but no composition work done in post process.
This week’s photography challenge takes us on a magic carpet ride around the globe, showing us a whole new world!
Forget your compass and get lost amongst the castles of Germany and Poland, forests of Belgium and Scotland, ancient churches and waterfalls of Italy, temples of Japan, and the eerie black sand beaches of Iceland…
50 Incredible Before/After Photoshop Transformations. This week’s creative challenge theme is BEFORE / AFTER.
This gallery really shows what a difference color toning and compositing elements can make to an image!
This week’s creative challenge theme is From A Story Book.
Fantasy and fairytales are all about storytelling, and we are all often inspired by tales from our childhood or myths and legends.
Characters, concepts, and colors all play a part in our creative journeys, so we were excited to see how story books have inspired your own work!
This week’s challenge is ANIMAL KINGDOM!
Scroll through our community gallery of zoological wonders, including owls, horses, foxes, wolves, bears, deer, rabbits and more! If you look carefully, you might even see some rarer creatures such as elephants, tortoises, snails, snakes and tarantulas!
This week’s challenge was based on the theme of SURREALISM.
I like to think of it as creating and expressing yourself without the boundaries of reality.
This week I challenged you to share yourself with us! I figured this challenge would be a great way for our community to connect and see the faces behind all the beautiful art that you share 💖
Our latest creative challenge was with the theme WATER. The creativity of this community continues to blow me away every week!
For our final challenge in this month of color challenges we are going to focus on the color of nature, life, and opulence.
Here are our featured submissions from last week’s creative color change! We focused on the color YELLOW! A color that is bright, warm, friendly and is associated with creativity which you will see in the images below!
For our second creative challenge during this month exploring color we are going to focus on the color of the sea and sky, Blue! Here are your submissions!
Our challenge for week 5 was RED and the submissions were fire!
Red is a color that is very emotionally intense. It’s connected to blood, rage, love, romance, danger, anger, desire, and so on.
For this blog post we are showcasing the pictures that you loved the most in the community group!
Our challenge for week 4 was PORTRAITS and my goodness, you all delivered! The submissions to this challenge were incredible and varied!
