Home photo shoot

*This article was written in pandemic. But you can still use many of the ideas from it for your photo shoot at home today

When all the cupboards have been sorted out, all the online courses have been taken, all the books read and TV series watched, and the quarantine is still not over, you don't know what to do anymore.

For starters, check out our list of ideas, in case you missed something. If all the items on the list (except the last one) are ticked, then it's time to do it - to capture a historical moment in a photo. And since most of us spend this moment at home, we will also take photos at home.

And here are a few ideas for inspiration or repetition. The photos can of course then be printed out, pasted into an album and shown to your grandchildren. By the way, to order album and photo cards. No need to wait for the end of quarantine, we have both with home delivery. And with the promo code HOME, get a 5% discount on any product from catalog.

1. Through the Looking-Glass
You don't have to be Alice to get there. Mirrors are suitable for all kinds of people: big and small, simple and intricate.

2. Kitchen
It's probably the most important place in the house at the moment. Take pictures of your favourite meal, fool around with the kids while you bake biscuits, get covered in flour, take pictures of a family dinner.

3. Unusual in the ordinary
Everyday household processes can also be beautifully filmed, even the boring washing of hands. And ironing laundry is a whole creative process! You can also become a spy for a day and spy on your household through the camera lens, filming what they do every day. In the meantime, we've already had some fun, inspired by the incomparable Jordi Koalitic, and filmed ourselves "ironing" a pillowcase from the dakimakura (bottom left photo).

And we've also got instructions on how to coolly shoot a mug of steaming biscuits - read here HERE

4. Bed
Another all time favourite quarantine spot. Suitable for singles, couples and families alike. Each photo will have its own twist. And if you forget about everything for a minute, you can have a pillow fight with flying feathers and jump on the bed from the bottom of your heart (the main thing is not to break it).

5. Catching the light
Catch the light, the shadows, use blinds, curtains and even a colander.

6. Pets
Well, how can you get past a cat whose facial expression is so meow-y: «When are you gonna go to work???»

7. Macro
If you have a macro lens, at least for your phone, you can have a lot of fun with it. If you have a macro lens for your camera, you can have a lot of fun with it.

8. And from our window...
Share your view of the view from your window with the world. Yes, if you have a view of the mountains or the sea, you are fabulously lucky. But what if there are grey Soviet high-rise buildings across the street, and you can't make an interesting shot out of it?

If the view is not pleasing at all, you can simply use the window as a background and play with backlighting.

9. Timelapse
Shoot one day, from dawn to dusk. Shoot from the same angle every day at the same time throughout the self-isolation. Take a picture of the tree under the window every day, now the buds are just starting to bud.

The example video uses 14,000 photos taken over 32 months. We hope with all our hearts that we don't have to sit out that long, but you get the idea))))))

10. Flowers
They are always beautiful, just take pictures of them!

11. Human flatlay
Switch on your imagination and create fairy tale and fun on your floor!

12. Freezelight
This is a great opportunity to learn how to paint with light. You need a small light source, like a torch, and a slow shutter speed on your camera or phone.

13. Family portrait
Maybe it's time for that serious family portrait. You know, the way it used to be: put on suits and dresses, sit or stand at attention. Or do the joke version. It's not that important. The main thing is that the whole family is together, when will it happen again?
