We asked 38 photographers from around the world to send images that somehow express their experience during this unprecedented moment
Lia Clay Miller: “I took this portrait of my friends Cloe and Max on the last day before we all went into Quarantine. A group of my friends who live close to me decided to go to the beach one last time before we all separated. There was an almost surreal quality to it — like we all knew that life was going to be a lot different in the coming months. Since my husband is an essential worker, we’ve been abiding a strict quarantine, and have been social distancing even from small groups.
Photo: Cheryl Dunn Cheryl Dunn: I have to spend too much time on screens and I’m too hyper to meditate. I started puzzling as a joke, then secretly got really into it. But I found out I have lots of friends that are puzzlers. It’s a thing. If you have done all your puzzles, I suggest puzzle passing — responsibly!
Photo: Mark Ronson Mark Ronson: This is Music & Video Exchange, one of London’s most durable used record shops. The window is dressed as sardonically as one would expect from them. London is odd right now. The roads are eerily quiet, but if it’s a sunny afternoon, the parks still feel joyful. People just keep a little more distance. I always feel like I’m betraying NYC when I’m not there in the middle of a catastrophe. I was there for 9/11 but not Sandy, and it was odd.
Photo: Morgan Hornsby Morgan Hornsby: Last month, my university switched to online classes and I moved back in with my parents in Eastern Kentucky. Though it feels like a regression, I am especially grateful for the ways my mother and I have been taking care of each other. We take turns putting coffee on in the morning, share meals, and both pitch it to homeschool my younger siblings. In this photo, my mom braids my hair in our bathroom.
Photo: Emily Soto Emily Soto: My thoughts are continually shifting between cherishing this pause with my family and wondering what the future holds for us. I believe we will all come out of this stronger with a greater appreciation for life, community, work, and our normal everyday freedoms. Photo: Gabriela Herman Gabriela Herman: It’s generally always chaos here — juggling a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old — but especially so now that we’re quarantined and the neighborhood is empty. I try to think about the silver linings: I’m grateful to spend so much time with my family, cooking so many delicious meals and, for once, it feels like the parenting duties are split 50-50 with my husband.
Photo: Alice Mann Alice Mann: My younger sister Jane and I are currently on lockdown together at my parents’ house in a small village called Stanford in South Africa. Growing up, we didn’t really get on. We are very different people, so even as adults spending so much time together has not been easy. Recently I asked if I could take her portrait.
Photo: Shan Wallace Shan Wallace: Some days I am so hopeless and then other days I’m hopeful. My homie Eric asked me why am I hopeful. I pondered on this for hours. I needed to get to the root of this hope. I told Eric, “My cup of hope isn’t too full, but I come from ancestors who taught me to be hopeful and that I am — we are — their manifestations of hope. We’ve listened to their testimonies of turning scraps into soul food, their testimonies of survival. They instilled hope in us.
