Photography at Home Challenge

This quarantine is forcing creatives to get REALLY creative. Where we once had free reign of the world, we are now confined to our respective spaces.

Sitting around at home, I decided to try and get creative. I never really have this much time on my hands, so I figured I would make the most of it and challenge myself to get creative around the house with my camera.

But, I was feeling a bit uninspired. I happened to stumble across a video on Youtube about taking portraits inside his apartment. And so, the bingeing began. I watched probably 20 videos of people taking portraits and photos at home. Here's a few if you're interested:

These got me really excited to try photos at home. And then, it rained and poured for a straight week.

The rain forced me to get creative. Since everything was wet, I went out during a break in the storm (a very humid break) to shoot some raindrops on the foliage.

When the rain finally let up, I begged my sister to come outside with me and be my model. Thankfully, she agreed. I ran her around our neighborhood in search of tropical plants and backgrounds that looked interesting.

I was really happy with these shots, but I wanted to try something indoors. Indoor photography really isn't my specialty, but I wanted to challenge myself. So we wandered the house in search of an interesting area to take a photo. Lo and behold, it was my parents' bathroom. The mirror and the light created a really interesting image that had a very vintage and almost painting feel. It's a different feel than my typical portraits, but I liked it.

Now, it's your turn! Get creative!
