Just a note to myself to acknowledge how difficult I’ve found it continuing with this course at the moment. I work for the NHS, but not in a front line role. This has meant that I have been working from home, using remote video conferencing tools to keep in touch with my colleagues.

Covid has become all consuming and doing a portraiture course has been almost impossible. So I kind of just decided it was undoable and haven’t done anything.

However, I joined a Photography Tutor led Zoom session with Andrea Norrington on 13th May, which has given me the impetus to get going again. I haven’t quite got to the first assignment yet, so I’m going to carry on with the exercises and research for the moment and hope to be in a better position to take portraits of strangers when I get there.
