From video chat photoshoots in the bath to an artistic collaboration with the photographer's mother - photographers are finding new ways to stay creative and connect with people.
Limitations on getting up close and personal has not stopped photographers finding ways to stay creative and connect with other people.
Arts educator Fiona didn鈥檛 want her 89-year-old mum to risk going outside, so she created the idea of photographing her mum with flowers on her head as a project they could collaborate on every day.
Jos Treen was a student in Glasgow in the 1970s, and while there he took many photographs of city life. Recently retired, he literally blew the dust off the the negatives in his attic, developed them in a make-shift dark room in the bathroom of his home, and posted the results online where people have loved coming together to identify the locations.
After all of her upcoming bookings were cancelled, professional photographer Caro found a new way to keep working and having human connection with people. A post online led to hundreds of contacts from people who wanted to capture memories of this time through distanced doorstep photoshoots.
Edinburgh-based photographer Aleksandra is more normally found working on fashion shoots, but with work on that front cancelled, she found a way to stay creative with her 鈥楤ath Series鈥� - portraits of models and friends, shot in the bath via video call.
