Photo Ideas for Every Occasion
Every list below is a shot list, not a mood board: one concrete prompt for each hour of the day, written for that occasion only. Follow it alone, or share it with the people you are with so everybody is shooting the same hour from a different angle.
In Sway, an hour is a slot. Everyone gets one photo per slot, the slot closes, and at the end the whole day is stitched into a single split-screen video - which is why a missed hour shows up more clearly than a bad photo.
