All dressed up and nowhere to go
I began this photography project in January, after the government announced another national lockdown, including the closure of schools. I was on maternity leave with my son Kit who was born in June last year, and was finding this – like the previous lockdown in November – hard.
Despite the horrors that the country was experiencing, I took a lot of positives away from the lockdown in March 2020. I was pregnant and it was a chance to slow down, spend time in nature and at home. But I found the subsequent lockdowns much harder, not being able to see family and friends, particularly with a new baby. This project was an opportunity for me to explore how other families with children were finding this period of isolation.
I was thinking of all the new mothers and fathers, the children and teenagers who are missing their friends and are bored at home. I decided to focus this photography project on fancy dress to make the photo shoots a fun and playful time in themselves. I asked parents and children to escape into their imaginations and come up with the best costumes they could find at home, and then went and took photos from the street.
Women’s marches, Argentina
With beating drums and flags flying high, this was the cry of the thousands of marchers I joined in the streets of Buenos Aires to protest violence against women in Argentina.Women, men, young and old all turned out for the marches of #NiUnaMenos, a movement dedicated to fighting gender inequality and the abuse and murder of women.
