Photo Challenge Week 17, 2025: Cramped

From 52 Frames. You have 7 days to capture an image that conveys a cramped feeling—where space is minimal or elements feel tightly packed.

This week is all about tight spaces, limited room, and squeezed-in feelings—literal or metaphorical. Think sardine cans, too-small chairs, overstuffed shelves, or emotional expressions of someone feeling boxed in. Use tight framing or busy backgrounds to emphasize a lack of space. Don’t be afraid to get uncomfortable—this challenge invites you to explore what it means to be hemmed in, overwhelmed, or out of room. Lighting can enhance the mood; harsh shadows or low lighting can underscore tension and claustrophobia.

This is my 52nd photo. It was last minute, so it could have been better. Oh Well.
