ALONE TOGETHER / DISCONNECTED

Visit the full exhibition: https://nadiameli.com/lockdown-portraits-exhibition I decided to take portraits of people through my laptop screen. I could not bare the thought of not photographing anyone (but my cats) for the next few months. So after a few weeks of being in a slump and feeling paralysed by anxiety my brain started thinking in colour again: Why not do virtual photoshoots? I am having so much fun meeting friends and complete strangers from Instagram on Skype and taking portraits of them. What a gift photography is! I am so grateful for this connection in a time of global alone - togetherness.
