Live Encore: Take Whimsical Photographs With Everyday Objects

Shoot and edit creative photos using objects you already have at home.
Photographer Amelie Satzger doesn’t think you have to go far to find inspiration for truly creative shots. In this 40-minute class—recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—she’ll walk you through how she creates conceptual photos using everyday objects around her house.

First, you’ll get a bunch of ideas for how to break out of a creative rut and find inspiration in things you have around the house, with examples of powerful photos Amelie has created while at home. Then, you’ll get to watch a live photoshoot where Amelie will show you how she starts to think about everyday objects in new and surprising ways. Finally, you’ll get the chance to edit alongside Amelie as she transforms her photograph into a surreal and whimsical work of art.

Amelie will be shooting on her iPhone, and you’re welcome to shoot using whatever camera you prefer. Ideally, you’ll have access to Lightroom and Photoshop for the editing stage. Great for photographers of any level looking to get out of a creative rut, you’ll walk away seeing the world in new ways—and hopefully with a pretty cool photograph to boot!
