Free preview
Preview the first 7 days
Every day has 3 goals: your daily core (the same every day), Task 2 and Task 3, each with a short why. Open a day to read all three.
Daily core Same every day
Shoot a small set and pick the best
Why: A small, focused set with one clear pick trains your eye more than lots of quick snaps.
Task 2
Learn where soft light falls in your home
Soft, even light usually comes from a big window without direct sun. Wipe your lens, then carry one object, like a mug, to three windows and one lamp and notice where its shadows look softest. Use that object and those spots for today's core set, and star the spot where it looks best. That's your home studio.
Why: Photography is mostly about light, and today you learned to find it where you live.
Task 3
Save your Day 1 baseline photos
Put today's set in a folder named Day 1 baseline and write one sentence on which spot looked best and why. You will compare against these on Days 25, 50, 75 and 100.
Why: A saved starting set gives you a fair, real comparison later.
Daily core Same every day
Shoot a small set and pick the best
Why: A small, focused set with one clear pick trains your eye more than lots of quick snaps.
Task 2
Learn the controls you already have
Open your camera or phone camera and find five things: focus, brightness or exposure, the grid, the timer and zoom. Turn the grid on and leave it on. Use each control at least once in today's core set.
Why: Knowing your tools means you stop fighting the camera and start making choices.
Task 3
Check today's set for focus and brightness
Zoom in on each photo from today's set and mark which are sharp and correctly bright. Delete the clearly blurry ones.
Why: Checking each control's effect shows you which ones you'll use most.
Daily core Same every day
Shoot a small set and pick the best
Why: A small, focused set with one clear pick trains your eye more than lots of quick snaps.
Task 2
Learn how three kinds of light change a photo
Window light is usually soft, lamp light is warm and often harsher, and open shade outside is soft and cool. For today's core set, photograph the same object in all three, about three photos in each.
Why: Seeing one object change under different light helps you notice light in every scene.
Task 3
Line up your three lights and name each mood
Put your best photo from each light side by side and write one word for the mood of each. Star the light you like most.
Why: Naming the mood each light creates helps you choose light on purpose.
Daily core Same every day
Shoot a small set and pick the best
Why: A small, focused set with one clear pick trains your eye more than lots of quick snaps.
Task 2
Use the rule of thirds
Imagine the frame cut into a three by three grid, and place your subject where the lines cross instead of in the middle. In today's core set, take five photos centered and five using thirds.
Why: The rule of thirds is a simple way to make photos feel balanced and interesting.
Task 3
Compare your centered and thirds photos
Put your best centered photo next to your best thirds photo and write which feels more alive. Straighten any tilted horizon while you're there.
Why: Seeing both side by side shows when centering works and when thirds work better.
Daily core Same every day
Shoot a small set and pick the best
Why: A small, focused set with one clear pick trains your eye more than lots of quick snaps.
Task 2
Make your first three edits
Pick three favorite photos from this week. In your phone's built in editor or any free editor, crop, straighten and adjust brightness and contrast. Keep the edits subtle.
Why: A simple edit turns a good photo into one you're proud to share.
Task 3
Compare each edit with its original
Put each edited photo next to its original. Pull back any slider that makes it look unnatural.
Why: A side by side check stops edits from going too far.
Daily core Same every day
Shoot a small set and pick the best
Why: A small, focused set with one clear pick trains your eye more than lots of quick snaps.
Task 2
Study three photos you love
Find three photos by other photographers that you love. For each, write where the light comes from, where the subject sits in the frame and what feeling it gives you. Borrow one idea for today's core set.
Why: Studying great photos teaches your eye what to look for in your own.
Task 3
Start a private inspiration folder
Make a folder called Inspiration and save the three photos you studied, with a note on what you'd borrow from each. Keep it private; these images belong to their makers.
Why: A folder of images you love becomes a map of the style you're growing toward.
Daily core Same every day
Shoot a small set and pick the best
Why: A small, focused set with one clear pick trains your eye more than lots of quick snaps.
Task 2
Write why your best photo of the week works
Light day. Scroll through this week's photos and pick your favorite. Write one sentence on why it works.
Why: Choosing your best shows you what you already do well.
Task 3
Write one thing to try next week
Look at your weakest photo of the week and write one specific thing you will try differently, like moving closer or finding softer light.
Why: A specific fix turns a weak photo into a plan.

How Photography 100 works
What you do each day
3 goals a day. Your daily core, Shoot a small set and pick the best, is the same every day. The other two are new each day: Task 2 builds the habit and Task 3 adds a different angle. Each one comes with a short why.
Time and effort
Most days fit around a normal day, all 3 goals together. Some days are lighter, and nothing needs to happen at a set time.
Difficulty and pace
Steady. Small daily steps that grow a little each week. Some days ask a bit more. Milestone badges at 10, 25, 50 and all 100 fully completed days mark how far you came.
Easier alternatives and rest days
Most goals have an easier alternative. “Choose an easier alternative” puts it in its place, and it counts the same as the original goal: the same square, streak and rewards. A rest day protects the streak on days life happens.
Pausing or switching
With another challenge going, you can pause this one any time. Resume later and you pick up on the same day you left. Remove it instead and your history stays: ticks, notes and photos. You always keep at least one challenge going. Up to 3 packs can be active at once, your main challenge included. Active and scheduled packs count; paused, finished and not started ones don't. You can own as many packs as you like and start them later.
What you own
Unlock Photography 100 on its own ($9.99 or a free credit) and it's yours forever, to replay any time. All Access opens every pack while you're subscribed. Credits never expire, so use them when you're ready.
Pack guide
When a client or reply is not available
Use an accurately labeled sample, draft or role-play. Do not invent a customer, review, revenue figure or completed commission. A prepared or appropriately sent message counts; a response, purchase or referral is not required. Keep copyrighted and confidential material out of public samples unless you have permission.
When progress stalls
At Days 25, 50 and 75, record outputs and responses separately. Identify the earliest weak step: finding the right audience, getting attention, demonstrating relevance, making a clear invitation or delivering useful work. Choose one change, complete one real test and set a review date. Switch channel or request targeted feedback when repeating the same approach is not helping; more volume alone is not the goal. Keep follow-up respectful and use a sample only when accurately labeled.
How to use task details
The task title names the action. Open its details for the method, examples and any relevant precautions; Why explains the purpose. Save the stated output or record the action you actually took. Paper and other suitable tools are valid alternatives. Do not mark a real-world result complete merely because a planning note was written. Writing tasks can be done in Journal, on paper or anywhere you like. Linking them to Journal is optional.
Baseline and show and tell
Record or save a short first attempt early on as your baseline. Every few weeks, make a fresh attempt at the same thing, put the two side by side and note one improvement. On checkpoint days, show one piece to someone you trust or save a private recording.
Earn 4 milestone badges
10, 25, 50 and all 100 fully completed days of Photography 100: your first achievement, then bronze, silver and gold. Days finished late count too.
