Life paused
When the world stopped in spring 2020 and we retreated into our homes, I picked up my camera and saw that while human lives were paused, nature was not.

Red-scale
A technique in which the film is taken out of the roll and re-rolled backwards, so that the layers are exposed in reverse order. This results in atmospheric red-tinged photographs. The extent of the red tone varies greatly throughout the images, depending on exposure and lighting.
