Julie and Julian

COVID-19 was a very difficult time for many. As the pandemic progressed, more people were urged to stay inside. Spending time with their families and trying to find new hobbies to entertain themselves became a new normal. However, for those who were vulnerable it became much more than this. A lot of different emotions were present and staying in became a shared experience between everyone.

Julie and Julian is a project documenting two key workers who were at risk to COVID-19 and had to shield at home. This intimate project documents the quiet and small moments between the subjects, away from their normal busy life. The images depict their new day to day lives and how they adapted to having to stay in all the time. Within this series, the photographs capture the subject’s vulnerability in a calm and non-intrusive manner, to unveil the emotions and feelings of the subjects.
