This Is a Good Way to Learn Photography

Hello, and welcome to The Future Photographer.

Have you ever found that coming up with ideas for photo shoots can sometimes be difficult? Not that you don’t have ideas, but maybe you just get lost in the “what do I shoot?” question, which can be paralysing sometimes. That’s what this site is for, and what the weekly challenge is all about. I’ll help you explore photography without having to worry about what to shoot, so you can concentrate on HOW to shoot.

F A Q

Questions?

It’s a weekly photography challenge designed to help you grow.
Each week, you’ll get a fresh photo prompt with helpful tips and example settings so you can get out, shoot, and learn by experimenting,not by overthinking.

You sign up once, and every week we’ll email you two prompts:

  • One beginner-friendly

  • One with a bit more challenge

Each prompt includes a few ideas, camera setting suggestions, and a tip to help you improve. You pick one (or both), head out to shoot sometime during the week, and share your results if you want to.

Every email includes:

  • Two prompts (easy + intermediate)

  • Recommended settings

  • Tips to think creatively

  • A bonus idea to take the prompt a step further

It’s short, helpful, and designed to get you out shooting that same week.

It’s 100% free.
Later, we’ll release optional paid prompt packs and tools, but the weekly email challenge will always be free to join.

Yes! That’s exactly who it’s for.
You don’t need fancy gear or technical knowledge to get started. We focus on seeing, experimenting, and building the habit of shooting. You’ll grow naturally, one prompt at a time.

The best way to improve is to shoot more, and shoot with intention.
These prompts give you direction, encourage experimentation, and help you practice the skills that actually matter. You’ll start noticing light, composition, and details you never saw before.

Absolutely.
Use whatever camera you have and feel comfortable with. You’ll learn how to make better photos no matter what gear you’re using.

Grab Your Camera and Let Creativity Take Over

No fancy setup needed. Just grab whatever camera you love (yes, your phone counts) and start exploring. We’ll provide the Ideas to shoot.
