FINDING INSPIRATION FOR AN CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY AT HOME
When first going around trying to find an at home extraordinary shot, look at things from all sorts of different angles. The goal is to make something completely ordinary look more interesting and creative. One shot that I was able to capture was of my bedroom door. It’s something that I look at every day, but I wanted to capture a photo of it that would make it look awesome.
The first thing that I wanted out of this shot was dramatic lighting. I thought it would be really cool to capture the shot from a dark room with light spilling through the cracks of the door. This would help change my ordinary door into a creative shot that could tell more of a story.
I managed to capture this shot by setting up my camera inside a dark room. I then added more light to the hallway outside and adjusted my camera setting to only pick up the light coming through the door.
Another creative shot that I thought would be cool was a little more abstract. I had an egg and a sheet of paper, and I thought that with good composition, I could make this shot really stand out. I took both of these items and put them on a black table to get high contrast. After positioning the items in a few different ways, I managed to capture the image above.
Be creative. Test out a few different angles, lighting, and compositions, and soon you will find that it is pretty simple to capture creative photography the next time you are stuck at home.
