So what do you do when you have to stay home due to the corona virus?
Learn!
I personally like to learn new things! There’s a lot of webinars, online classes, podcasts, books about all kinds of subjects. Now is a good time to learn some new skills or to get some other views on things!
If you’re into concert photography, you might want to check Matthias Hombauer‘s podcast How To Become A Rockstar Photographer. No less than 100 episodes with plenty of great concert photographers from all over the world.
A great platform to learn different things like graphic design, photography, drawing, business stuff: Skill Share. Want to learn from how Konsta Punkka takes his fantastic animal portraits? Want to create a logo? Click the picture below and get access to a free trial!
Watch some great shows online!
I for instance watched the home shows of Black Mirrors and Nathan Gray, and I watched Dropkick Murphys on St. Patrick’s Day in Boston!
Take some well deserved rest!
As a concert photographer I’ve covered so many shows in the past few years, that sometimes you need to take a break. This time it’s corona deciding for me, however, I see it also as a welcome break from my daily rat race: work, family, traffic, concerts, other obligations, … It’s the perfect time to let go the stress of our daily lives and to reflect on and do things we don’t have to for. Time to spend with your precious ones.
But: I can’t wait to go out and shoot concerts again, with full energy!
