The community in the Elena S Blair Photography Education Facebook Group showed up again this month for the Monthly Cover Contest!

The ESB Education Group is a Photographer’s Online Community which is one of, if not the most, positive Facebook Groups for Photographers out there. What happens each month is at the beginning of a new month we call upon the Elena S Blair Photography Education Community to submit 1 photo to the Monthly Cover Contest. Members from the Facebook Group Community then like as many images as they choose and whoever has the most likes at the end of the week gets their image featured as the Facebook Group cover photo for that month. Then we take the top 10 and feature them here!

Congratulations to Chantalle Fiscus for being the Winner of the Elena S Blair Education Facebook Group April 2023 Cover Contest.

Let’s get to know Chantalle a little more in her winners feature below.

1. What is your favorite thing about The Elena S Blair Education Facebook Community?

Elena has created a one of a kind community. The women support and encourage each other. It doesn’t matter if you just decided to be a photographer or have been in business for 20 years- it’s a safe space to come, learn, and be authentic.

2. If you could tell the version of you from five years ago one thing, what would it be? 

Trust your gut, be authentically you, and don’t let the fear of failure stop you from dreaming BIG.

3. What is your favorite lens and why? 

My favorite lens for years was my 35mm 1.4 and I still use it for my indoor newborn sessions, but I recently switched to a zoom 24-70mm lens and I LOVE it! I used to think prime was the only way to go, but using zoom has actually increased my ability to tell and create meaningful stories through my images.

This photographers online community has so much talent and are so incredibly positive and encouraging! Check out the rest of this months top 10!
