As a wedding photographer it’s fair to say that I’ve photographed my fair share of rings. At each and every wedding I try and do something different with them, mostly to challenge myself more than anything. 
Each time I try something different either with the lighting or something simple like the position I place then in.
There’s a lot on context associated with wedding rings so it’s very easy to create a visual narrative in your image.
You don’t have to photograph wedding rings for this challenge but it’s an easy starting point.

This weekly photo challenge is designed to complement our photography basics section the London Mums website. Each week we will set a different theme and your homework is to go out and photograph a collection of images related to that theme.

You can start this challenge whenever you like and do the different themes in any order you see fit. Think of these challenges as a photography workout. Don’t just do them once and not revisit them. If you do start these challenges as you begin our online basics classes then in a few months why not revisit older challenges to see how much better a photographer you have become.

Also try and think outside the box as much as possible. Photography is as much about creative interpretation as it is about technical prowess.
