While the world stays home, this might seem like a tough time to practice your photography skills. So many photo projects involve traveling, beautiful scenery, or portraits of people. There are so many things to photograph all around us though and this is a great time to get creative with your camera or phone.

The best thing you can do is to look around you and use a photographer’s mind to see your surroundings in a new light. Take pictures of household items, views out your window or from your yard, and the people you are living with. If you are still working, try to take some pictures of that environment if possible using social distancing guidelines. The most important thing right now is safety. Once that is taken care of, there can still be room for some creativity.
