How can I create process videos when I can't go back to the locations where I took my photographs?

You don’t need to revisit old locations. Set up a tripod or phone mount at the height of your computer screen and record yourself editing your photographs. Don’t record continuously for hours—instead, press record for each milestone moment: entering the editing program, applying a major edit, adding color correction, etc. Record 10-second sequences of different parts of your process, then pause. This gives you a collection of dynamic clips you can stitch together later. People genuinely love watching editing and post-processing content—it’s not boring at all. You can also balance this with other content like telling the story behind a photograph (even using it as a hook without showing the actual location). The key is showing your process in manageable, interesting segments.
