Just like many, English actress and activist Emma Watson spent her lockdown learning a new skill. Popularly known for her works in front of the camera, her credits including Harry Potter franchise, as Belle in Beauty and the Beast, and more recently appearing in Little Women, Watson shared on social media how she spent her quarantined days learning about how it all works on the other side of the lens.

Taking to the Instagram on October 27, the star shared with her followers the experience of “getting behind the camera” while we were all told to stay at home during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, describing it as the most "empowering thing" she learned during that time.

Watson writes in the caption, “Getting behind the camera and learning how it works is about the most empowering thing I've learned in lockdown. As a young woman, I always thought the most glamorous and exciting thing would be to be someone's 'muse'; and of course as women, we are inspiring... but wow it's something else to be able to tell your own story and other people's.” She shared her words alongside images of herself holding a large professional camera.
