This summer with lockdown, and an uncertain future ( in the short-term at least) it was photography that I turned to for support. The art world, and even people in photography’s commercial sector are notoriously hard to penetrate: from gate-keepers to 21st century ‘busy people’, securing a conversation with them is normally very hard. It turns out that they are human too, and they were feeling the loss of interaction with creative minds, and the freedom to visit shows, plan photoshoots, and arrange exhibitions and book launches for those they represent. Everyone became more accessible, offering Zoom talks from their homes, and relishing the opportunity to interact with other humans. It really was unique.
