I prefer shooting outfits outside, street style way in an urban city location. But now that we're quite restricted as to where we can go and when, and since we don't have any outside shoot locations that I like nearby where we live, I've had to resort to shooting at home and come up with different settings and locations indoors. How exactly have I been taking photos and creating content from home during the past few weeks? Below you'll find my best tips when it comes to taking photos and keeping the creation flowing when quite stuck inside.

Think creatively
Look at your home with new eyes so to say. What would make for a good spot for photos? Can you shuffle the furniture or some other element around to bring some variety? For example, I completely turned over our living room for these photos in order to create that little space in the corner. Plants and chairs/seats are relatively easy to move around and make for good props, and if you have a staircase at home you can make use of that too!
Seek help
I know personally I'm in a very very good position as I'm currently still staying with my parents, and so I've got photography help readily on hand. My mum works as a photographer and also my little sister is always ready to help with photos. However, this situation will change in exactly a week when I'm moving to a new flat alone, and that means I need to get more creative again. Luckily I already have a tripod which I used every once in a while when shooting alone in Glasgow, so I am going to bring that one out again. My best tip for creating content at home would be to get a tripod if there is no photography help coming from family, partner, flatmates or anyone else you live with.

Try, try, try
Now is a good time to be brave, try new things, and develop your skills. You can make a good home studio with the help of bed sheets, and trying different angles, cropping, or experimenting with a mirror for instance are great ways to experiment and bring some variety in. Personally I'm also trying to get more active with videos again after the move is out of the way. If you have any requests as to what kind of video content you'd like to see from me, then make sure to send them my way!
Adapt and do your best
This exceptional situation is, well, exceptional and a little strange for everyone. Although I think people are actually getting used to this new way of living little by little. However, as there isn't anything you can really do about this situation or the limitations, there is no choice but to adapt and do your best in the circumstances we are in just now.

Pre lockdown, I shot most of my content at home anyway, but it's been nice to be more creative and also see others shoot amazing content from their homes! x

Oh that makes adjusting a little bit easier for you then I guess! And I definitely agree, it's been so nice and also inspiring to see everyone's at-home content :) xx
