The Coronavirus or formally known as Covid-19 has changed
our daily lives and the way we interact.
As cities shut down and people engage in social distancing,
 our tech has become essential
 to connect with others at a time of isolation.  
It has transformed the way we live.


"We're all in this together right now,"
"We're trying to keep ourselves busy. Your challenge
over the next few week is to document
your time at home whilst
we follow advice to “stay at home”.
I would like you to think about your daily
interaction with ourselves, love ones,
family and friends, the ordinary
yet extraordinary things, actions and
the activities we are engaged with whilst
in isolation.

Take a moment, Documentary means as it happens naturally,
Documentary photography is about honesty above all else,
which means being truthful to the scene in front of you
and the moment you are capturing. However, if you slow down and
compose the background of your image and wait
for the action to come, then you regain control
of the scene. It is all too easy to get caught up in action
and chase after it, but it pays off to slow down and
learn to anticipate the moment. Pay special attention to the details of an objects,
situations, what you observation, capture it close ups,
think about your framing, you are asked
to record using video or capture through a single
image ONE SECOND everyday, this can be on any format
with a camera, Iphone or android phone.
One second can say a lot!  It can tell a story,
evoke an emotion, or take us right back to that moment.
 It’s important to document the ordinary and extraordinary
moments from our everyday lives.  Not only to
celebrate the present, but to preserve memories that we’ll treasure
 in the future.

“How we spend our days is of course how we spend our lives.”  - Annie Dilliard

The Family home, Just being where you are right now, use your environment,
capture someone close to you, as in my children, what is it about them you want to capture? What part
of their personality do you want to shine through in the photos:  wisdom,
 a gentleness; intelligence, caring, a sense of fun, or all of the above?
 Is there something quirky about them  that makes them unique, how can you show
that in your video or images?
Things around them in their daily life set the scene, so remember to capture some of those things too.
