Are you not allowed outside or are you just a miserable couch potato? Then our quarantine photo tips are perfect for you.

One of the most important tips when taking photos: Get out of your own four walls! But the coronavirus has forced us to limit our radius of action. You're sitting in your living room instead of visiting exciting places. What now?

Thomas Kunz (professional photographer at Digitec Galaxus AG) and I (amateur photographer and editor) have come up with a number of ideas. They can all be realised at home. You don't need studio lighting or any other special photographic equipment. Sometimes you will need a tripod or a torch. The tips are not intended as precise instructions, but as inspiration. As a starting point for your own ideas.
