What do you think of when you think of something caught by a camera lens? A TV interview? A crime caught on a security camera? An investigator or spy’s clandestine photos? A selfie at a party?

Cameras often catch us at our best or worst moments and there are so many stories we can find around them, both good and bad. Try finding something unique to do with them in your writing.

Story Prompt: June 1, 2026

Write a story about something caught on camera

This could be video or photographs, intentional or accidental, beneficial or harmful. That part is up to you.

If you write a story for this prompt, send me a link to your story on your own site, either in the comments or at info@greenwalledtreehouse.com. You can also submit your story here for a chance to have it published on the site next week.

Have a great week!
