In my previous blog post, I gave you guys a TON of ideas of things you can photograph while stuck at home during these challenging times. Then I made a short video I put on Facebook, along with two more videos. I'm placing all three videos here for you to watch, and hopefully you'll feel inspired to create some new things. :) What to Photograph?How The Photos Turned Out and How I ChooseCreating A Work of Bird ArtP.S. In video #1, I talked about the backdrop board course I took, which is where I learned how to make the boards shown in the video. You can find that course here if you're interested in taking it and learning how to make your own backdrop boards.

Despite the fact I made this blog post earlier during the virus quarantines about things you can photograph while quarantined, I still see some of my photographer friends and customers complaining they don't have anything to photograph. So, this post is for anyone feeling "stuck", and that they don't have anything to photograph and creatively work on during these challenging times!  Let's talk about Duane Keiser. So who is he? Duane Keiser is a painter I've followed for many, many years. He's the one who began the "painting a day" movement with his small paintings of simple subjects, often food items and other things anyone would have around the home. The painting shown above is just one of the many examples of art he has created over the years. Take a look through his Painting A Day blog for inspiration! Simple SubjectsI have compiled a list of simple subjects he has painted over the years. This is by no means a comprehensive list. This list is designed to help give YOU creative ideas of things you can photograph and create art out of while stuck at home during times of quarantine. I hope you will find it useful in your creative endeavors!
