Those of us who are lucky enough to shelter in place right now because we’re able to work from home all deal with trauma differently. While some of us struggle to focus on much at all, others are stress-cleaning or stress-baking or stress-puzzling — all normal and valid responses. If you happen to fall into the camp that’s excited to be taking online classes, Nikon is offering free photography courses right now.

Nikon School Online, which provides video tutorials by professional photographers, is free for the entire month of April. The class topics include landscape photography, macro photography, photographing kids and pets, portraiture, and music videos, as well as focused tutorials for Nikon equipment.

Classes range from 15 minutes to over an hour, and there are ten in total, so you could learn a lot over the course of April.

“Make the most of this time,” reads the introductory message on Nikon School Online. “Nikon’s mission has always been to empower creators. In these uncertain times, we can do that by helping creators stay inspired, engaged and growing. That’s why we’re providing all of our courses free for the entire month of April. Let’s come out of this even better.”

This month, Nikon is also launching #CreatorsHour on its social media channels, which will include photo/video challenges and live chats with Nikon ambassadors speaking about their photography tips. Learn more on Nikon’s Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
