Home / 365 Photo Challenge
365 Photo Challenge: a prompt for every day.
365 everyday objects, one for each day. Every one is something you can find and shoot with your phone, wherever you live and whatever the season. No trip, no studio, no special gear.
Printed from rawly.app/365-photo-challenge
How the challenge works
One photo a day.
Shoot the prompt on the day you pick it. Start with number 1 or anywhere you like.
Shoot it fresh.
No old photos from your camera roll. The point is to look around today.
Find a new angle.
A spoon can be a reflection, a shadow or a pattern. Ordinary objects are the best practice there is.
Missed a day?
Shoot two tomorrow or just keep going. A year with a few gaps beats a challenge you quit in February.
The 365 prompts

Play it as a daily game
Rawly runs these 365 objects as its Daily Event. Everyone gets the same object at the same moment, at a different time every day, and a notification tells you when it opens.
You shoot it live in the app. There are no gallery uploads and no filters, so every entry was taken that day.
Each photo is voted on by the community for 24 hours. When enough people take part, the three most-voted shots of the day earn 30, 20 and 10 Score toward your rank. Shooting every day builds a streak.
The app draws the objects in random order, so nobody knows tomorrow's.
Tips to finish all 365 days
Pick a time.
The same moment every day turns it into a habit: morning coffee, lunch break, the walk home.
Use window light.
Daylight from the side beats a ceiling lamp for small objects.
Get close.
Fill the frame. Most everyday things look better from a hand's length away.
Change your height.
Shoot from above, from the floor, through a glass. One move makes a plain object new.
Look for the story.
A half-eaten slice of cake says more than a whole one.
Do it with friends.
Same prompt, same day. Comparing shots is half the fun.
Questions
What is a 365 photo challenge?
It is one photo a day for a year, usually following a prompt. It trains your eye: you learn to find light, angles and stories in ordinary things.
Do I need a real camera?
No. Every prompt on this list is meant for a phone camera. The objects are small, everyday and easy to find.
What if I miss a day?
Keep going. Shoot the missed prompt the next day or skip it. Finishing matters more than a perfect record.
Can I start in the middle of the year?
Yes. The list is not tied to dates or seasons. Start today with prompt 1, or with any theme you like.
Is there an app for a daily photo challenge?
Rawly runs one every day. Everyone gets the same object at the same moment, shoots it live, and the community votes on the photos. Rawly is free on iOS and Android.
Can I print the list?
Yes. The Print button above the list gives a clean, ink-friendly version with all 365 prompts.
Shoot today's object with everyone else.
Free on iOS and Android.
