I would love to see more challenges that require shooting people. Some examples:
*Environmental portraits- people doing whatever it is they do (in other words, no sterile studio shots. Posed or candid is fine, just so long as they're in an environment that tells a story).
*Pairs- Mother and child, 2 friends, brother and sister, whatever.
*B&W portraits- again, candid or posed doesn't matter, just as long as it's black and white.
Then there's always capturing emotions- joy, sadness, anger, etc.
I think some more human-centric challenges would make us practice the art of capturing personalities- a very difficult thing to do, and one that isn't challenged here often enough.
