The Covid Bride

The woman underneath the gas mask had to postpone her wedding due to the current situation with Covid-19.

She came to me to see if I was willing come over and safely take a few photos of her in her wedding dress,  (This isn't her dress, this one was a back up we shot because it could get dirty)
I suggested that she buy this wonderful gas mask I found on Amazon. It also kept us safe during the shoot, and of course, we kept the safe distance. Using my 85 mm lens was a useful too if I ever I thought to step closer, it just won’t focus.
When I opened these images, I was flooded with emotion, much more so than I expected.

Thank you Lisa Levan, you and your husband to- be are a magical match.Thank you for asking me to portray how you feel right now. It felt so good to make art with you. We also got to express our feelings of isolation and loss, and to find the beauty within that.

It's important to express how you feel in times like this. We all do it in our own special way.
Be safe friends.
