by Moa Karlberg from Stockholm, Sweden
I live in Sweden – the exceptional country, with much lighter restrictions than most others. Still, our lives have been very different from normal. Less movement. Limited social life and more family focus. I have been trying to document my own life more than before. My 2.5-year-old is always clinging to me when we are at home, so it can be challenging to get good photographs of her. Knowing that thousands of other photographers document themselves during this time has been a big motivation to continue.
SELF-PORTRAITS: PHOTOGRAPHERS IN CONFINEMENT
Curated by Svetlana Bachevanova
A collection of self-portraits made by photojournalists from five continents during the unprecedent lockdown due to the corona virus pandemic.
Photographers are people on the road, living to document the lives of others.
Constrained by the lockdown, many of them had their first experience of being still long enough to begin seeing and understanding small details about who they are, their lifestyles and values, that were overshadowed while they were busy. These self-portraits express their experience.
This is a unique collection of self-portraits from some of the best lenses in photojournalism at an historic moment.
Photographers in Confinement is a project in process and I welcome additional submissions from photojournalists at svetlana@fotoevidence.com
I am looking for potential exhibition partners in the USA and abroad.
Svetlana Bachevanova is a founder and publisher of FotoEvidence, long time photojournalist and curator.
