Log into your video chat services such as Skype or Zoom and use your webcam to give a new spin on the things we’ve been using every day in quarantine.

A an outdoor kitchen and dining set up like in this great outdoor backyard in Calabasas, CA is an idyllic location for a photoshoot showcasing a new or current chef’s skills in the kitchen.
