Street Manual is a digital deck of 200+ street photography prompt cards. Each card is a specific creative brief — a technique, a project, a location, or a settings reference — designed to give you a concrete starting point for a shoot instead of wandering and hoping.

All of them. Every card in the deck is free in full, covering every category, with no account or email required.

Nothing. The whole deck is free: every card in every category, on any device, with no account and no paywall. Every card we add is free too. If you want a guided start, the 7-day email course is also free.

A specific prompt or brief, a practical field assignment, recommended camera settings as a starting point, and an estimated time commitment. Location cards also include the best times to shoot and what to look for when you arrive.

No. The app runs in your browser, and your progress — Focus Cards and session log — is saved locally on your device. There is nothing to sign up for.

Yes — it is built mobile-first, because the whole point is having it in your pocket on the street. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.

Yes. The settings reference cards assume nothing and give you exact starting points (aperture, shutter, ISO) for common situations. The technique cards explain the why as well as the how. If you have a camera or a phone and a pavement, you can shoot every card in the deck.

Any camera, including your phone. A few cards involve flash or manual controls; where a technique needs specific gear, the card says so and suggests the accessible version.

There are 60 UK location cards: 36 in London, 14 in Hertfordshire, and 10 in Essex — each with best times and specific things to look for. The technique, project, and settings cards work anywhere in the world.

Regularly, as they are written and field-tested. Every new card is free too — the deck just keeps growing.

Just try it, there is nothing to lose: the whole deck is free. Shoot a few cards. If they get you out the door and back with photographs, it is working. Any questions, email luke@streetmanual.com.

Shoot a card, then submit your photo through the community page. Submissions are reviewed by hand and the best work is featured in the gallery with credit.
