5 Photography Things To Do When You Are Sick

Let’s face it, we get sick from time to time and being stuck at home is not the best.

You may get bored binge-watching your favorite show or just not sleepy enough.

Creators always have an imagination that doesn’t stop.

Here are some helpful things to do when you are sick.

Update Your Website

Have you been ignoring your website lately? Not updating photos or blogging much?

This is the time to get some photos posted that have been doing well on social media.

Blogging is another way to get more traffic onto your website as long as you have a grasp on SEO.

More traffic can lead to more sales.

Learn A New Skill

This can mean many things.

You can learn how to do flash photography, learn about SEO or even try to do video.

Videography is becoming more on-demand especially for weddings, restaurants and real estate.

Just make sure you practice this skill so you can master it in no time.

YouTube can be really helpful with lots of free info especially with Evan Ranft for street photography or Matt D’Avella for self-improvement.

Study Photography

Composition is key when it comes to any type of photography.

Go on social media and study the greats or get a photography book and study colors.

You don’t always have to follow the rules, but it’s great to understand them.

Learn how photographers use light in tight spaces or how shadows are played.

Organize Your Gear

One thing that you can never go wrong is organizing your photography gear.

I’m guilty of a messy desk, but once I know I have everything where it needs to be, I can get on with my day.

Putting my stuff in my bag gives me relief so I know next time I’m out taking photos, I’ll have everything in it.

Such as extra sd cards, batteries, and filters, I won’t have to worry.

Supporting Other Artists

If staying in bed is all you need while you are sick, why not support other artists straight from your phone?

Supporting other artists can lead to more engagement on your Instagram.

However, be genuine when commenting and liking photos.

Don’t just ask for the engagement.

Photographers and other artists will always appreciate any feedback.

Conclusion

Don’t let your sickness keep you away from learning new things or supporting others.

Some of these things can be done from the comfort of your own bed.

Just make sure you drink lots of water and plenty of vitamin D.
