Over the course of quarantine my style of photography hasn't really changed all that much. Taking photos is always something I have done by myself. It is something that I can be alone with my thoughts and enjoy an activity. This allows me to still social distance while taking photos. I usually walk alone when I take photographs so I felt right at home. I think it actually helped me take photos because of the lack of people around I felt like I have more opportunity to go to places that are normally full of people and can be difficult to take photographs in.
My practice drastically changed once going into quarantine. I found it very difficult to have any motivation once being home all the time. This is especially because I was mainly photographing people. I was no longer able to photograph people in the same way, and ended up mainly photographing my brother in different metroparks in the Toledo area. This proved to be a challenge as I could no longer shoot on film either, and my dslr stopped working a week into quarantine. This led to most of my photos being phone pics. With these limitations I tried to play off of weird projects I already had been doing. My photos for mom series are literal phone pictures I have always taken for my mom of my brother and I doing weird things in parks. This also drew off of my idea to make eye-spy type pictures of my brother and I hiding in the trees. The last of my film photos are also stuck as edited TIFFs. I was unable to download photoshop as my laptop has no storage, and the files were too big for...









Hi Carter! I really like the photo of the chess board with the light in the corner! The angle of the photos look like there is a lot of thought put into them as well. I know what you mean with going on walks I have been going on more recently and taking your camera with you to take photos of what you see is so relaxing and is such a good time to see the beauty of creation!
