Photograpehrs guide to #COVID-19
Stay more blessed, less stressed.
Stay more productive yet protected.
COVID-19 is a global health concern that is distancing the photography lovers from events they want to go and creating a slowdown of business prospects.
Some tasks can be worked upon to make things work in this aura are given below:
1) Prepare the portfolio you always wanted
Organizing your profile to make it more attractive and pleasing to converting prospects into clients online. Your online portfolio includes your Instagram, Facebook, Google My business and your website. Keeping everything up to date, organized and attractive will give you a better opportunity when the market will start again.

3) Apply for photography contest and awards online
There are numerous photography grants run by various organizations. So, being prepared with an outstanding style statement that confronts others with a body of work will help a lot to boost up your chances of winning and gear up the level of work through recognition provided by participating and winning the contest. It would also help you to get more clients in the upcoming months.

4) Dig into some favourite photo books
Opening a photo book won’t help you make any money in the immediate future, but spending time looking and thinking about what some of the great photographers of the past have done can be very inspiring for your own work. Taking in a photo book can also be extremely relaxing, which is something that I think all of us could benefit from right now.
5) Focus more on projects that involve a smaller group
Take up smaller projects which could be done easily. Try to reschedule big events if possible, instead of cancelling them. Don't be disheartened, you must have heard of the saying that many small droplets make up a big ocean. Try to apply this to your thinking skills in order to stay productive and stress-free.
6) Save more and spend less
Avoid making big purchases, cut down the expenses to a minimum. Try to save more for the upcoming few months for rents, utilities, etc. Make optimum use of your gadgets that you already have and bring out your best creative work. Planning expenses today for upcoming economic conditions would be a remedy to play safe with an upcoming situation. File your taxes if you haven't and follow a budget for the next few months as sometimes it’s good to be pocket-friendly.
7) Personal care is a must
Carry sanitizer wherever you go, wear masks wherever there is a large crowd of people. Avoid going to overcrowded places and keep yourself clean and hygienic. Don't check live cases of coronavirus after every few minutes, you can do it once a day to stay updated.
Exercise with the help of instructions on a live video, mediation would make you feel less stressed, positive and out of anxiety created by the news to coronavirus.
