Portraits Done Over FaceTime
Weird times call for new forms of getting by, and new forms of creating.
A Portrait Session Two Time Zones Apart
Desperate to do a creative portrait session, my friend and I got on a FaceTime video call and started making something similar to what we’re used to making together, despite 2,500 miles being in between us. Despite a global pandemic happening around both of us.
Finding Normal in Strange Times
It feels so normal, which is scary to think about — that technology has become so much a part of our lives that despite everything happening, it really is our new normal. There’s something oddly comforting in that: two creatives, a screen, and the same instinct to make something, even from a distance.
