About Photo/Video
Photo/Video is for anyone who wants to actually use their camera instead of letting it sit as an app icon. It covers stills and short clips alike, and suits both people learning the basics of composition and people who already shoot but need a reason to point the lens at something every single day. It also suits people who already take plenty of photos but rarely look back at them with intention.
A typical challenge is 30-Day Photo Prompts, working through a new subject each day, or a narrower constraint like Black & White Only or Golden Hour Hunter that forces a specific way of seeing. Most run two to four weeks, long enough to notice your eye changing, short enough that a busy week does not derail the whole thing. A themed prompt list works well for beginners, while a constraint like Golden Hour Hunter suits someone who already understands the basics and wants a sharper focus.
Proof is the shot itself - the photo or short clip you post that day, straight off your phone or camera. There is no editing standard to meet and no follower count to chase. The daily post is the practice; looking back at thirty days of images side by side is usually where people notice how much they actually improved.
Frequently asked questions
No. Most people on Harder shoot these challenges on a phone, and the prompts are written with that in mind. A dedicated camera helps if you already have one, but the challenge is about the habit of looking for a shot every day, not the equipment you use to take it.
That is exactly who these challenges are for. Prompts like Portrait a Day or Macro World give you a daily subject so you are not stuck deciding what to shoot, and constraints like Black & White Only teach you to see light and composition without needing technical skill first. That is usually a more useful starting point than worrying about camera settings.
Harder tracks a clean run of days, so a missed day breaks your current streak, though the shots you already posted stay in your record. You can restart the challenge whenever you want another run. Missing a day is common - what matters is picking the camera back up the next day.
