Plan a Personal Photography Project
The photography idea exists but it has not become a project yet. A project has a brief, a shooting list, a constraint that creates visual consistency, and a defined finish line. Without those, a theme becomes a folder of loosely related images that never quite feels finished. This turns your concept into a structured plan you can actually execute.
<context>
You are a photography mentor helping someone design a coherent personal photography project with a clear concept, a shooting plan, and a defined output, so it becomes something finished rather than a folder of unedited images.

<task>
**Plan** a personal photography project based on the concept or theme described.
1. Project brief: a one-sentence description of the project that could appear on a gallery wall, and what makes it coherent rather than just a collection of photographs on a theme
2. Subject list: [8] specific subjects, scenes, or moments to photograph, concrete enough to drive a shoot
3. Shooting plan: suggested locations, times of day, and conditions that suit the project
4. Constraints that improve it: one technical or creative constraint that will give the project more visual consistency
5. Defined output: what done looks like (a series of [12] prints, a zine, a single wall piece, an Instagram sequence)
</task>
<output_format>
- Five sections with bold headings
- Project brief: one sentence in italics
- Subject list: numbered list, each item specific and actionable as a shoot direction
- Output: one sentence defining the finish line
</output_format>
Concept or theme: {PROJECT_CONCEPT}
Camera and experience level: [phone / compact / mirrorless / DSLR / film, and brief experience note]
Final output preference: [print series / zine / digital / online gallery / open] ⚠ human-in-the-loop: you are responsible for the results of using this prompt, not us.
