This series of photos is based around waiting and covid 19. I took the photos whilst on holiday in Tenerife where wearing a mask outside is mandatory and I found it interesting how people went about their daily tasks wearing a mask which is why I chose to have my photos as people waiting wearing masks. All photos are taken without the knowledge of my subjects so they are all natural which I liked as it looked less forced than it would if I have if I had made the subjects pose for me. I chose these 3 photos as I feel like they reflected my experience the best. The black and white photos show the discomfort of traveling during coronavirus while the coloured photo shows a balance between the discomfort and the beauty of tenerife.
I decided on the middle image as my final photo as I felt the colours were really beautiful and bright and contrasted really well with the grimness of the coronavirus situation. The photo was taken in a harbour in playa de las galletas and is of my sister hiding in the shade. As she was unaware of the the photo being taken, her facial expressions are dull and uninterested which I think makes the photo more poignant .
Next time I do this I will try to take more photos of the same image so that I have more choice finding the best photos. It was hard to do that this time as no one was posing. I took inspiration from artists like Dorethea Lange.
