How do the photographers deal with the new normal?

The new normal will change the perspective of photographers and content creators, both in terms of creativity and in making money. COVID-19 has changed the old normal to the new normal. These are new tips for photographers to be able to change their attitudes and mindset, so they can optimize their sophisticated cameras to be more productive as a professional photographer. Look at the latest Greyhound film Tom Hanks, which has to be watched on Apple TV not in the cinema, as it was in normal old times.

Because of COVID-19 many changes must be faced by the global community. Almost all aspects of life are infected by Coronavirus. Photographers and content creators also face the same thing, which creates new anxiety in realizing the creation of images and videos, which also affects their economic lives.

Project delays and contracts that should have been worked on from March to today must also be experienced by photographers and content creators, who are generally accustomed to working outside the studio. It seems like all professions and businesses must be prepared to undergo the transition from the old normal to the new normal.

Photographers and content creators like YouTubers or Vloggers who are accustomed to outdoor activities must be in shock after the coronavirus spreads globally, so they are forced to stay at home. Indeed, not everyone is ready to work from home. The inspiration that usually arises spontaneously, seems to be sucked in by the sad atmosphere that always appears in the media because of the impact of the Coronavirus.

Among the photographers, there might be those who have achieved new success because they have gotten out of the box so they can be creative and work from home. Most of them are content creators, Vloggers or YouTubers, and photographers who have specific expertise.


They are not very dependent on outdoor work. A new situation for most people is not profitable, instead, they start to get new contracts worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. Independent content creators may get a lot of sudden inspiration, so their videos get a lot of new viewers and subscribers during this global pandemic.

Changing attitudes and mindset is a must. 

If many people and other professions have changed the perspective of the new normal that is bound to happen, the photographers are also able to do the same thing. It is time to change attitudes and especially the mindset about the art of photography in the new normal. Some of the old normal ones might still become a tradition, of course with a slightly different adaptation and creativity.

Lockdown regulations in some countries have been relaxed. However, the way business is conducted might be different. The cinema was not yet operational when Covid-19 was confirmed to be entering the second wave, so there was a new Tom Hanks film that Apple TV had bought at a very high price. Now moviegoers will switch from the cinema room to the screen that they have such as a tablet, smartphone, or laptop.

This phenomenon is real and has begun to run slowly or even faster than we expect. That is why content creators, and especially photographers, who have been very proud of outdoor creativity have dared to change their mindset and attitude in creativity. Make sure, we have to start to get out of the box, which is still hanging out in the old normal.


Change is eternal, so the wise have said in normal times. Because of Covid-19 the change has taken place and is becoming more real and has happened now. 

For professional photographers, photography is not just an ordinary hobby during COVID-19 and thereafter. Most photographers must look for new opportunities, and that can be done with new collaborations, especially if we cannot do it alone.


The new collaboration is a must in the new normal. 

New opportunities and benefits can be achieved successfully if the attitude and mindset also adapt to the new normal. There are many old-style businesses, as well as jobs and other professions that have certainly moved in the new normal direction. Don't let yourself get lost for too long with your sophisticated camera in a normal time. The choice is yours.
