24 Hr Challenge
On the first of April, the Arts Society at the University of Melbourne hosted a 24 hr Challenge. While I could not attend due to classes, I reached out to my sister to give me a prompt and a time frame and held my own challenge. It was so much fun, and it exercised my creative muscles in a way they hadn't experienced before, which is why I decided that on the first and the 15th of every month, I would continue the challenge.
The rules are as follows:
- The day before, reach out to friends, family, and random generators for a prompt and a
time between 8 am and 11 pm.
- I have from the time given 24 hrs to take the photos in line with the prompt and edit. If I
am unable to edit within the time frame, I am only allowed to import into Lightroom
and immediately export.
- Each challenge will then be sent to my friends and family to rate it on a scale of 0 to 5 based on
the quality of the photo, the consistency to the prompt, and the overall feeling (aka, do they like
the photo)
Below are the results. Enjoy!

Photographer's Note:
My study abroad in Australia and my final semester of university ended at the start of July 2025. Due to returning and immediately preparing to move and start working, there will be no 24-hour challenges for the months of July and August 2025. I will do my best to restart in September, but it may take me some time to readjust to going out for photoshoots twice a month.
September 1st
Challenge Prompt: Balcony Moments
Time Frame: 10 am
Lost one star for being late.
Full Images
The format of the 24-hour challenges favours portrait-style images, so I created this category to display the full images I created if they were in landscape orientation.
