What You'll Learn

This course tackles photographer's block head-on through six distinct roles you can try on: exploring your neighborhood as if on holiday, curating your existing photos to spot recurring themes, disrupting your usual approach, planning a deliberate shot or project, experimenting freely with your camera, and celebrating the work you've already made.

Who It's For

Written for amateur photographers who used to shoot regularly but have lost momentum, and who want practical, low-pressure ways to pick the camera back up rather than technical instruction.

Key Takeaways

Six practical roles for reigniting creative motivation
A hands-on challenge attached to each role to get you shooting again
Ways to curate past work to understand your own recurring interests
Guidance on bouncing back from disappointment with your own photography

About this course

Are you an amateur photographer who used to take your camera with you everywhere but now leaves it at home in a cupboard? Did you once see photographs that you wanted to capture but barely notice them now?

Do you want to start taking photographs again but can't seem to rekindle your enthusiasm for your once passionate hobby?

Then this course is for you!

We will look at six different ways to re-ignite your love of photography. These are different roles you could try out:

Explore your neighbourhood as if you were on holiday
Curate your photographs to find out which subject you return to most often
Disrupt the way you take photographs by trying something new
Plan to take the best photograph you can, or create an entire photographic project
Experiment your camera and surprise yourself with what appears
Celebrate your photography

Each role will include practical ideas for you to try out, and there will be a challenge for you to head out with your camera to take more photographs!

One of the stumbling blocks for an amateur photographer is when they do not feel their work is good enough so the course includes some suggestions on how to bounce back from disappointment and pick up your camera again.

All of the ideas in this course are from my own experience of being a photographer and sometimes falling out of love with photography. I have tried all of them and I hope that at least one of them will work for you!
