Covid-19 Lockdown Photography Project<\/h2>\n

During the Covid-19 Lockdown I have started a photography project – photographing teenage life at home in Oxford<\/a>. At this time the children are unable to attend school and only allowed to leave the house for exercise once a day.<\/p>\n

Lack of routine can be challenging at these times.\u00a0 There will be an extended period of adjustment to this new and uncertain world pandemic. Normally the kids are untroubled by world news, but at the moment there seems to be a low level of constant anxiety as the BBC news<\/a> is directly affecting the whole family for the first time.\u00a0 This can manifest in different ways, perhaps losing temper or seeking parent company more often.<\/p>\n

Everyday activities have assumed a greater significance and I have set myself the challenge of using my Leica cameras<\/a> to take an interesting and different photograph each day to try and show this.\u00a0 I expect the kids will remember this period for the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n

As a professional photographer<\/a> for over 20 years the challenge is to consider what to photograph and when and keep the project style consistent.\u00a0 I want to capture what under normal circumstances would be a trivial subject and elevate it to this new significance.<\/p>\n

Leica LFI International<\/a> have been featuring my images on their #stayhome page and other galleries. You can see the photographs they selected here, and also the pages where they appeared\u00a0 –<\/p>\n
