Photo How To

We get it. You're stuck inside during this nerve-wracking coronavirus pandemic and you're climbing the walls because you want to be outside photographing stuff.

Photographers are, by definition, creative people and when we can't create, we go a little nuts. That's understandable but there are, in fact, many things you can do to grow as a photographer if you're self-quarantined. In the below video, Los Angeles-based boudoir photographer Michael Sasser shares "8 Tips for Improving Photography During a Quarantine."

"This is a crazy time right now and I want to do what I can to help," Sasser says. "I've been a really good citizen and have only left the house once in five days, just to go for a walk. But I know that a ton of shoots are getting canceled. I've had a few shoots canceled and it may seem like the best way to use this social distancing time is to just sit around and watch Netflix. But if you're looking for a way to be more productive and improve your photography, I've got a couple of ideas on how you can still learn while you're pretty much locked up at home."
