Sitting in the house bored during COVID-19 quarantine is difficult in so many ways. Between baking loaves of banana bread and binging Netflix shows, we’ve found ourselves staring longingly at our cameras.

We all want to be out shooting glorious images of beautiful couples. So, how did we turn the boredom into creative fun? We used our monthly photo challenge, of course! For this month’s challenge we asked members of our Photobug Community to submit their favorite self-portraits they shot while—you guessed it—in the house bored.

This photo collection is anything but boring. Check out our favorites below and get inspired to prove you can be in the house bored and still scratch that creative itch.
