The 617 – The Photography Project Challenge 2026
When The 617 Club launched its Season Two Photography Project Challenge around the theme of ‘Shadow & Light’, I knew Norway trip would have plenty to offer. These six images are my response to that brief — a collection gathered from the streets, corridors and churches of a country where the light rarely lets you ignore it. The spiral staircase, the long shadows of a sunlit walkway, even a jellyfish in the deep — each one felt like a small answer to the challenge of capturing that interplay between illumination and obscurity. I hope they do the theme justice.
They were entered to the 617 club challenge which had the following introduction:
Shadow & Light
We’re thrilled to unveil our Photography Project Challenge, now active throughout Season Two of The 617 Club. This ongoing challenge invites all members to embark on their creative journeys immediately. After a recent poll, the intriguing theme of ‘Shadow & Light’ was selected by our community. This concept stems from our eagerness to keep the Project Challenge momentum alive, following the resounding success of the ‘Members Photography Challenge’ during our seasonal break. Embrace the play of contrasts, explore the dynamic interplay of illumination and obscurity, and capture the essence of this captivating theme. Join us and let your lens tell a story of contrasts, where every shadow meets its light.
