Being a healthcare provider during the COVID-19 pandemic meant being in the highest risk category of getting infected. To not only protect healthcare workers but also others in the hospitals, mandatory regular testing of all healthcare professionals was part of the daily routine. The constant stress of catching COVID and the anticipation of test results was evident on their faces.
I found the anticipation, the sting and the immediate after-effects of testing to be a very interesting subject to document. And what better vantage point than from the point of view of the person taking the sample. I was standing on a chair on top of a cabinet with my camera directly above the head of the doctor.

About F. Dilek Uyar:
Dilek is a highly accomplished travel and documentary photographer from Ankara, Turkey. Dilek is also a lawyer and a skilled sky diver. She took up photography as an escape from the courthouse and life, after she quit sky diving. That spark turned into a fire which led her to be named National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year in 2017. Fighting through challenges that are typical to what women face in male dominated spheres, she has not only made many proud with her accomplishments but has also inspired a whole new generation of female photographers.
Dilek, a TEDx speaker, is also a contributing photographer of National Geographic YS and National Geographic Turkey. She teaches photography at Ankara Bilim University in Ankara, Turkey. She is also a jurist for some of the most prestigious photography awards in the world, such as those given by National Geographic. In 2020, she was named IPA Photographer of the Year (Deeper Perspective). In 2021, she was named Best Reportage Photographer of the Year at the 6th 35 Awards. She was also named Sony World Photography Award and was the third-place winner at the HIPA Humanity Awards (Story Telling).
As a female photographer, lawyer, and mother from Turkey, she is a big champion of women’s rights and issues and advocates for saying yes to change. Her goal is to increase social awareness and recognition with her stories and to inspire young women in her country and all over the world.

Since World War II, there has not been a more impactful global event affecting the world than COVID. When it first hit, we watched it like a vague dystopic science fiction from afar and then, in no time, became actors in it. With borders closed and economies hit hard, we became prisoners in our own homes. We were at war, a war that was being fought in hospitals by soldiers in a different uniform. It was a tough decision to knowingly put myself and my family at risk, but I knew I would never forgive myself if I did not follow my calling and went and documented it. So, I spent 29 days at the ICU of Gazi University Hospital in Ankara, Turkey from May 6th 2020 - June 5th 2020. This collection consists of 25 photos from that time; photos documenting life inside the ICU, photos documenting life and death in the times of COVID-19.
Photographers are the eyes of those who are not present. I cannot change history, but I can photograph it.
