52 Weekends: TENTH BIRTHDAY book launch

To celebrate ten years of A Year With My Camera, Emma has gathered together in one book fifty-two of the most popular weekend photography challenges that the community has done together since 2016.

Start your Christmas shopping now

Until 15 November 2026, UK customers can buy 52 Weekends direct from Emma in a bundle with one or more of her other books with UK postage included: scroll to the bottom for purchase links.

If you are not in the UK, or just want one copy, 52 Weekends is £10 on Amazon worldwide.

It's a small book

52 Weekends is 4 × 6 inches (about 10 × 15 cm), the size of a postcard. That's deliberate: it fits in a coat pocket or camera bag, so it can come out with you at the weekend.

If you're expecting something the size of the A Year With My Camera workbooks, this isn't that. It's a little companion book, made for carrying.

• 4 × 6 in (10 × 15 cm) paperback, 116 pages

• 52 prompts, each with a lined page for your notes

• A checklist at the back to tick off your weekends

One prompt for each weekend

The A Year With My Camera community has been doing weekend challenges since 2016. This book gathers our favourites. Each challenge comes with:

• The prompt: a short idea to take out with you, such as “green and blue” or “edges of light”.

• A technique tip: one practical suggestion to help you on your way, whatever camera you're using.

• Look further: for the weeks a prompt really catches you, a photographer, painter or idea to follow up.

Opposite each prompt is a lined page for your reflections: what you noticed, what worked, what you'd try next time.

You don't need special equipment, good weather or somewhere beautiful to go; only a camera (any camera, including your phone) and a little attention. Do one challenge each weekend, in whatever order you like, and let it send you out to look at the ordinary world a bit more closely.

Start whenever you like. The prompts aren't tied to dates, so you can begin in January, in June or next weekend.

A great stocking filler

It's small enough for a stocking and gives someone a reason to pick up their camera every weekend of the new year. It suits a complete beginner, someone who's drifted away from photography, or a keen photographer who'd like some fresh ideas. Buy two with UK postage included: see below.

Build a keepsake as you go

Gather your year into a photobook you can hold. Download a free Canva template (details in the book), add one photograph each weekend, and by the end of the year your book is ready to print.
