One of my obsessions is that keen photographers should take pictures as often as they can, possibly every day. We had a look at Sue Foll's work recently. She posts her work on Blipfoto.

Blipfoto is a free to use photoblogging platform based on the shared purpose of telling a story through one photo a day.

The premise is very simple – contributors upload just one image per day, taken on that day. Many use this as a challenge to do it every single day, some only do it once a month.

It looks like an entire global community is growing around this concept. Blippers organise regular meet-ups around the world, including the UK, China, USA & Finland.

Graham Maclachlan of Blipfoto says "easy to use and based on a simple, clean design, the site is carefully moderated. The result of this is described by Blipfoto's own users as an incredibly addictive experience. We're currently working on projects with Channel 4, National Theatre of Scotland, Edinburgh Festivals and others. Blipfoto won a BAFTA Scotland Award in 2010, and an Alt-W award in 2010. All growth to date has been entirely viral, driven solely by word of mouth."

We thought we would follow six photographer's Blipfoto work over the coming weeks. There will be a link to galleries on the Guardian Camera Club page.
