Photography, Safety and Coronavirus

Covid-19 Update:

The Coronavirus pandemic has meant that we’ve all had to adapt the way we live and work. Whilst it’s been hard not being able work on any wedding, gig or event photography over the past few months, I’ve been lucky to have the opportunity to work on a range of solo projects (including this short film: 2,000 Rainbows). 

However, after months of quarantine, the country is slowly coming out of lockdown, which means that I’m able to take bookings for shoots once again. I’m so excited to be able to get back to the work that I love, but I’m acutely aware that it has to be done safely and responsibly.

I’ve adapted my work methods to ensure that the safety and well-being of my clients is at the forefront of everything I do:

  • I’ll be working alone and during all shoots I will maintain strict social distancing, staying more that 2m away from other people. But don’t worry, the quality of my work wont be affected – using top-of-the-range zoom lenses, I’m able to capture beautiful, intimate photographs from a distance.

  • For the foreseeable future, I will be wearing a facemask for all shoots. Additional PPE will be worn whenever necessary.

  • Wherever possible, shoots will take place outdoors. Indoor shoots will be limited to places where it is possible to maintain social distancing and work safely.

  • During all shoots, contact with shared surfaces (door handles, etc.) will be kept to an absolute minimum. I will be carrying 70% alcohol disinfectant gel with me at all times and will be maintaining a strict handwashing protocol to minimise the risk of contamination.

  • All my equipment will be thoroughly cleaned between shoots.

  • Every shoot and every client is different. So, alongside the changes I’ve implemented above, I will happily tailor the way I work to meet your/your company’s specific needs and ways of working to keep you safe, and stress-free during your shoot.

  • All of the changes I’ve implemented are in line with the current government guidelines, but I’ll be regularly reviewing and updating my work practices as time goes on to make sure I’m always adhering to the latest advice.

Please get in touch if you’d like to chat about any of the above in more detail, or if you want to book a safe, socially-distanced photoshoot. 

Thanks for reading. Stay kind and keep safe x
