Tell a morning story in five photos

A possible sequence: window light, an empty mug, a spoon, breakfast and the table afterwards. These are five subjects to try, not a required result. The set can stay on your phone.

First step: Choose a morning subject and make one opening photo that shows the setting.

Make a sketchbook page of five everyday objects

A finished page might contain a mug, spoon, shoe, key and apple, with small notes beside the tricky shapes.

First step: Draw the mug twice and keep both versions.

Finish a short story and write a recommendation

A useful recommendation names the title and author, describes the mood and says who might enjoy it without giving away the ending.

First step: Sample the opening and record one question.

Your First Try

Make something worth sharing.

Photography · 10 minutes · A phone is enough

Make an ordinary mug interesting

Put an empty mug on a table near a window. Leave enough space around it to see its outline. Take three photos: from above, at table height and close to the handle. Tap the mug on your phone screen to focus; stay far enough away for a sharp image. Compare the three views. Choose the one where the mug stands out most clearly and keep it. Finish the sentence: I chose this view because ___. A clearer shape, an interesting shadow or a favourite detail is enough.

Keep the result for yourself, or share your favourite photo and one thing you noticed. Your first attempt is enough.
