Dear friend,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of us are currently stuck at home, and it might be hard to stay inspired in your photography. Here are some practical words of encouragement for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Selfie project<\/strong>: Shoot selfies<\/a> of yourself! Shoot your hand, face, body limbs, silhouette, reflection, shadow, etc. You can shoot monochrome or color. Experiment with flash. You can also experiment shooting with -1 or -2 exposure-compensation (film noir black and white style). <\/li>
  2. Shoot 4K video (or 1080p video), and take screenshots on your laptop of your favorite stills.<\/li>
  3. Get on the ground and do 20 pushups as quickly as you can, then run around the house and shoot photos of anything which interests you<\/strong>. My theory: a hormonal rush from doing a bunch of pushups will give you a hormonal and creative boost, which can help you find more interesting things to shoot at home.<\/li>
  4. Curate your portfolio<\/strong>. To curate<\/a> means to select the photos you CARE for. You can also turn it into a slideshow of your favorite photos, and upload it to YouTube! Here is a YouTube tutorial of how I make iMovie slideshows<\/a> on my Mac with my photos.<\/li>
  5. Photograph interesting textures at home<\/strong>. Look around the house for gritty textures<\/a>. Photograph the cheese grater at home. Photograph your carpet. Photograph your towels. Anything with textures is good!<\/li>
  6. Shoot photos from your window<\/strong>. You might not be able to go outside, but you can still shoot outside!<\/li>
  7. Start your photography website<\/strong>. I recommend bluehost.com<\/a> and installing wordpress.org<\/a>. How to build your own website here<\/a>. <\/li>
  8. Photograph your loved one<\/strong>. If you’re home with a roommate, child, partner, wife, husband, etc\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 photograph them! Photograph what and who you love<\/a>.<\/li>
  9. Face-time or video-call your friends, family, or anyone you care for\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and shoot screen-shots of you two having a good time!<\/li>
  10. Shoot a vlog and explain why<\/em> you love photography. Then upload it to your blog.<\/li>
  11. Upload your best #1 photo to arsbeta.com<\/a> and get real feedback, and give feedback! <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Time is tough, but remember friend–<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Brave New World (Aldous Huxley, free pdf here<\/a>).<\/li>
    5. The History of the Peloponnesian War, by Thucydides [free epub here<\/a>]<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
