Before and After
Before and After is a photo series shot in the isolation and reflection of COVID-19. Being isolated during the height of the pandemic felt like a dream, it was both familiar and strange at the same time. I set out to find some sort of normalcy only to realize the world as I knew it had changed. The streets were completely abandoned, a surreal version of our new reality.
Additional Info:
Before and After is a photography series that features the abandoned streets of Toronto captured during the coronavirus pandemic. This series features 40 images and is shot on 35mm black and white film.
Stage one of reopening was announced and I was eager to leave my apartment that I had been stuck in for the past 3 months. When I left I was completely surprised, everything was vacant and no one was outside. This experience of being completely alone in the streets was very unnerving and I tried to capture this discomfort of isolation within the images.
