This Week’s “Choose Your Own Prompt” Challenge
This week we’re keeping the creative momentum going with another “Choose Your Own Prompt” format — five fresh ideas for you to explore, shoot, and interpret however you like. Pick the one that sparks something, stick with it for the week, and share your results with the community. No rules, just inspiration.
? Your Five New Options This Week
1. Framing Within the Frame
Find a natural frame in your environment — a doorway, window, tree branches, arches, fences or anything that surrounds your subject. It’s a simple way to add depth and guide the viewer’s eye.
2. The Colour Contrast
Instead of one dominating colour, look for two colours that play off each other. Complementary (blue/orange), bold contrasts (red/green), or subtle pairings (teal/green). Let colour relationships tell the story.
3. Quiet Moments
Capture calm. Early morning stillness, someone reading, soft window light, empty spaces, a pet resting. Focus on mood and subtlety rather than action.
4. Hard vs Soft Light
Photograph the same subject twice — once in harsh, directional light and once in soft, diffused light. Notice how shadows, detail and emotion shift with the change in lighting.
5. Lines That Aren’t Straight
Hunt for curves, spirals, zig-zags or wavy lines. Roads, rivers, staircases, shadows, architecture or everyday objects. Use these shapes to lead the viewer through the frame.
You can share your photograph below (Has to be new, not one from your archives!) or you can join / visit our Facebook group and share it there. (You can find that group here)
