Photographers in Isolation

"PHOTOGRAPHERS. A lot of us are used to working in isolation so let’s use this time to continue our work and respond to this situation that we are all facing TOGETHER. I’m asking all photographers, wherever you are to join me in documenting your time in isolation using the hashtag #photographersinisolation So let’s stick together, spread the word, share your work and let’s begin 📷 #photographers #artistsupport"

Photographers in isolation  was founded by Rachael Munro-Fawcett at the start of the pandemic. I choose to showcase this Instagram page as it shows differents photographers from around the world on how the pandemic reflected on their lives and shoots.

Rachael Munro-Fawcett is a UK-based photographer whose work examines the relationships that exist between people and their environment. With a strong social and environmental focus, her practise is driven by an ardent belief in the power of photography to facilitate discussions that initiate positive change within societies. Her work explores a diverse range of cultures, communities and landscapes, broadening the scope of conversation to include worlds that exist beyond her own socio-economic and geographical boundaries. 

Funded by Arts Council England, her long term project To Walk In Your Shoes was an insight into the daily plight of asylum seekers and refugees living in the UK. The project partnered with City of Sanctuary Manchester and PAFRAS Leeds (Positive Action for Asylum Seekers and Refugees) and was widely exhibited across the north of England. Her two year project Hollin Lane WIP is a documentary exploration of a local allotment community in the North of England. 

Rachael lives in Leeds and in between projects freelances as a portrait and commercial photographer. She received a BA Hons degree in Photography from Leeds Metropolitan University in 2007 and is the founder and curator of Photographers In Isolation.

Identify photographic resources to complete a photographic project (AC 2.1)

Living on a fast pace society and going in three lockdowns during a year has been a challenge. During the first lockdown we had the retrospective of our lives and have "all that time to do the to do list". My Home sweet Home project is being changing and evolving since day one as my own life is changing.

I plan to challenge myself and go out of my comfort zone. One of my main goals is tro try to incorporate all the techniques learnt before during this project.
