Other creative ideas that you can try:

These are some ideas that you can consider during the lockdown period. Thomas Salzano feels that instead of feeling bad for not being able to do what your profession demands. Do something different and learn so that you are prepared for any challenging situation like this. For example, if you are a wedding photographer, learn other forms or try to look for pre-wedding home shots, or home wedding shots, that might be a small project but worth doing at this point.
