Photographers, like the rest of us, have found themselves being at home for long periods rather than out shooting images. If you haven't been able to get out to take pictures, you may be going a bit stir crazy and wondering what to do with your time. Why not use the opportunity to focus on a new project or two to help pass the time, learn something new, or get organized? From possibly finding a new photographer to engage with or cataloging your equipment, using this downtime to focus on something you normally wouldn't do can help you stay occupied and maybe even improve your skills.
Matt Murray, contributor to Digital Photography School, shares 10 projects photographers can work on while at home.
If you’ve suddenly found yourself at home for an extended period, your first reaction could be to feel restricted in terms of what you can achieve. Fear not, there are lots of photography projects you can work on from home. In this guide, I’ve detailed ten projects I plan on working on in the coming weeks.
1. Make a photography zine
With time on your hands, there’s no better time to start thinking about creating a photography zine. I’ve just made my first zine with images I took while on holiday on the Isle of Wight last year.
There was quite a steep learning curve for me in putting it all together. Some of the skills I learned include: how to select images for a book, page layout using Adobe InDesign, and the difference in
how images look printed in the CMYK color space instead of how they’re viewed on the screen in the RGB color space. The next step is to market and sell my zine.
The whole process has been very rewarding. Look out for a future Digital Photography School article coming soon about this topic.
2. Organize your Lightroom catalogs
If your Lightroom is anything like my Lightroom, of all the photography projects you can work on from home, this one could take the most time. Over the next few weeks, I’ve decided to start organizing it once and for all.
