This is it! The last of the monthly challenges for 2010. For the month of December, we will be shooting one photo each day on the theme of PORTRAIT. You can take a self-portrait, a portrait of a stranger, a family member, or a friend. Be spontaneous, or plan out a formal portrait shoot. Use this opportunity to interact with a stranger on the street. Try to get some portraits that take advantage of the background and surroundings of your subject.

When you post your daily photo, be sure to submit it to the Photochallenge.org Flickr Group Pool, and tag it with “decemberchallenge2010″. This monthly challenge is in addition to the 2010 Challenge. You can participate in both challenges at the same time.

About Steve Troletti

I'm a Location Scout, Editorial, Nature, Wildlife and Environmental Photographer based in Malibu, California. I specialize in Nature and Urban Nature photography including Infrared Landscapes. The Bulk of my work takes place in the Los Angeles, California area, Greater Montreal Region, Canada, Switzerland, France and Varese in Northern Italy. Ethical wildlife photography is the main priority and focus of my work. A minimum disturbance of the animals, their habitat and the environment is my top priority. This applies as much to total wilderness areas as it does to urban nature environments. Ongoing education of environmental issues and building awareness for the protection of wildlife and wilderness areas around the world is what drives me to document the beauty that surrounds us.
