From freshman college to new life and loss, three young photographers document their pandemic year.
A year ago, the BBC reached out to three young photographers to document their lives under lockdown during the early days of the pandemic.
After graduating from college and applying for a ton of jobs, I found myself with a lot of free time as I was waiting to hear back. So instead of focusing on my future I shifted my focus to my past. I decided I wanted to learn more about my family history.I think I've gained a fresh perspective on life and death. I think because so many people around the world have lost loved ones during this time, it's had a profound impact on so many of us in different ways.
When I moved into this apartment with my boyfriend, we definitely had to change our Covid safety routine. When we saw my family, which was only once or twice a week, we wore masks around each other and we distanced, which was quite the transition from us being together all the time.My family has experienced extreme highs and extreme lows during the pandemic.
I got my second [vaccine] shot on 21 April, and it feels really wonderful not having to worry about giving Covid to anyone. And at this point, all of the people that I'm close with in Cincinnati have at least one shot, if not both, so this feels like a new era of Covid.In March, I found out that I was selected as a Los Angeles Times intern, and I honestly couldn't think of anything else I'd rather be doing. I've always wanted to work for the Times, so this all feels very surreal.
The best part about my days this past year were probably my photojournalism classes, which gave me an excuse to go outside for assignments when I needed to take portraits of people.
