Autumn challenges and bootcamps

Coffee Cup photography challenge

Sometimes the simplest subjects turn out to be the most inspiring. A coffee cup might seem ordinary at first glance, but it can become a powerful tool for sparking creativity behind the camera. The beauty of this challenge lies in learning to see the extraordinary in the everyday. By photographing one simple object in many different ways, you’ll train your eye to notice light, perspective, mood, and storytelling opportunities you may have overlooked before.

Each morning, just before you’re about to make your first cup, you’ll receive a cool tutorial with that day’s idea.

Over the next 14 days, you’ll explore a series of creative prompts—all centered on a single cup of coffee. Each idea invites you to push your imagination further, experiment with different styles, and break free from routine approaches. By the end, you’ll not only have a beautiful collection of coffee-inspired images, but also sharper creative instincts you can apply to any subject.

By challenging yourself to look at the same subject in 14 unique ways, you’ll stretch your creativity, sharpen your technical skills, and develop a deeper appreciation for everyday beauty.
