Caption

This documentary portrait shot on medium format analogue, is part of a wider curation with the same title. A series made up of collected fleeting moments during 2020, a time of the global pandemic COVID-19, stripping mediocre distraction and finding pause on values, raw truths and ultimately humanity's hope.

This particular work was shot at the end of Melbourne’s Stage-4 pandemic lockdown, with mandatory social distancing practices in place and adding to the story. A day long portrait sitting of the people, for the people. Subjects were asked to finally unveil their faces, in front of the camera, into the open air after a long time of wearing face masks outdoors, translating their experience on their faces and through their bodies. A heavily drenched narrative of realising mortality and grieving basic freedoms. A visual note on mentality and humanity pushed to hardship and fragility on a global scale within a fast modern world.

‘Down come the four walls, as we blink into the sun, you can now take off your mask... we all have a story.'
