Did you see the DEP weekly prompt 21 of 52?

To make it super-easy for you, our DEP Photography prompt for February 2023 is a continuation of that prompt. (You can club the DEP Photography prompt with the DEP weekly Prompt 21 of 52!)

The photography prompt is = Celebrating YOU

Yes, YOU.💜

Appropriate, isn’t it, considering we are still in the month of love?

I posed for the photo above when I went to the Flower Show at Lalbagh Botanical Gardens, Bangalore last month with my friend. There’s something super-fun about going somewhere with friends and clicking crazy photos no? I did take some wearing a blonde and a purple wig, too. And some with random strangers. We had a great time!

The spotlight this month is on YOU.

The photo can be of you, something related to you, something that represents you — interpret it any way you like.

I understand that some of you do not want to post photographs of yourself — so the photo can be something closely connected to you. Something you made. Even your hand. Your shadow. You holding something, a beverage. A silhouette of you. Any personal photo you’d think of adding to an ‘about me’ story.

Important:

  • Post your photo. Write about it. Can be more than one photo.
  • The photo must be clicked by you. Or of you. Remember to credit your photo with “photo by author”
  • NO stock photos for the DEP Photography prompt.
  • Your post can be as long or as short as you like.
  • Add the subtitle — “In response to DEP Photography prompt — February 2023”
  • Remember to tag your post “DEP Photography” and “Dancingelephantspress”
  • Please stick to our publication’s theme of joy, wellness, inspiration, and spirituality.
  • No word limit for your posts. Be as short or as long as you like.

Feel free to club your response to prompt 21 of 52 with the DEP Photography prompt — the topics are similar

  • Respond to this prompt at any time — there’s no deadline. Although, it would be great if you responded this month! 🙂
  • Have fun! Post as often as you want in response to this prompt.

Not interested in the monthly prompt?

  • If the monthly photography prompt isn’t your thing, go freestyle.
  • Feel free to feature any photo clicked by you (can be one or more) and write about it for the DEP Photography column.
  • NO stock photography, please. Photos MUST be your own. Remember to credit your photos with “photo by author”
  • No word limit.
  • Add the subtitle: “DEP Photography — Freestyle”
  • Add the tag/topic “Dep Photography” and “Dancingelephantspress”

I cannot wait to see your fabulous photos — both in response to the prompt and freestyle!

Celebrate yourself!

I look forward to big participation.
