People wearing masks, empty streets, working from home, protests...show how life is different during a pandemic.

From hobbies to relaxing to chores, capture anything people do when they're not at work.

Capture a residential or commercial property’s exterior or interior at its most appealing presentation for sales or promotional purposes.

Should allow us to work with angles and lighting, plus you always meant to declutter the living room, right?

The weather affects everyone everywhere. Capture a weather event (e.g. snowfall, rain shower, wind, blazing hot sun etc.) or the effects of weather (e.g. flood damage, aftermath of a tornado, perspiring face on hot day etc.)

From housepets to big cats to the stone lions at the New York Library, cats are everywhere; in art, in nature, on the internet, and on your sofa. Post your best pictures of anything feline.

Anything related to the sea or seashore--or any body of water: animals by the sea, ships on the sea, birds, water shots, people at the beach etc.

Fashion Photography.

Photography devoted to displaying clothes and accessories. Styles include artistic shots for fashion magazines and stock photography (e.g. mood-inducing shots of models in studio or on location), to editorial shots used in trade journals and newspapers (e.g. runway shots, sales and merchandizing displays, manufacturing shots), to commercial shots such as still-life product photos used in sales catalogs.

Event photography.
Weddings, graduations, proms, concerts, parades, races, art shows, store openings…. Events can be as big as a state funeral or as small as a child’s birthday party. Capture the scope and essence of the event in a recognizable way (e.g. a close up of a birthday cake candle can be any birthday, but the person blowing out the candles shows a specific birthday event.)

Animal photography. For July take pictures of pets, wildlife, farm animals, zoo animals etc. Just mammals, though, no birds, bugs, reptiles, fish etc.

The subject for March is "It's a Living." Capture a person or people at work in their chosen profession.
