30 Everyday Photo Prompts for When You Feel Stuck
Find what's hiding in plain sight: light, composition, and color
A friend called me not long ago. He's new to photography, and he told me he doesn't feel creative at home. No studio. No setup. No ideas.
I've been a photographer for over 30 years, and I still feel that way some days. Here's what I told him. You don't need a better space. You need a better way to look at the one you have.
This guide gives you 30 everyday photo prompts to get you shooting again. Each one is small and simple, and you can do it in about 15 minutes with whatever camera you have. Most of the photos inside were taken on my iPhone, in kitchens, hallways, and friends' homes.
What's inside:
- 30 everyday photo prompts in five sections: Light, Composition, Color, Small in a Big Space, and Mood and Mystery
- A "Try this" twist with every prompt to take the idea one step further
- What I look for in any room, and how to find a photo when nothing feels interesting
- Simple phone tips for shooting small things
- A weekly check-in with three questions that help you see your progress
- A printable 30-day tracker
- Example photos from my own work, with the prompt that fits each one
Who it's for: anyone who loves photography and feels stuck. Beginners, hobbyists, and pros who need a fresh start. If you've ever looked around and thought there's nothing to photograph here, this is for you.
