@Fabio Bucciarelli for The New York Times 

In last weeks’ webinar we got to hear the journalist/photographer Fabio Bucciarelli talk about his latest and most known work. One of these included, taken the latest circumstances, the corona virus aka Covid-19. 

The picture that I have chosen is one of his series from Corona virus. He told us a lot about it and his experience. He took the pictures in Italy, where Corona is at its’ worst. 

He had to wear special white costume that covered his whole body, a mask. He couldn’t be changing lenses or so when he was inside, so he would have prepared two bodies with two different lenses that he wanted to use. He made connections with families. Take for example the man in this picture above - he has healed and is better now, tells us Fabio. 

He worked there about two weeks or so. 

I find it brave in a way, to be willing to go to so many families and hospital to get world to see what is really happening and to capture the history. Since Fabio himself is Italian it was no problem for him to make connections with the people and I think they were more willingly opening the door to him than to any other photographer/journalist who would not for instance talk Italian. In these hard times it’s important to be able to trust people and help each other. 

Other thing that stuck in my head is how he talked about ‘dealing’ with seeing many ‘horrifying’ stuff like corona and such. He said that you need to get out there and do your usual stuff. You get home, you need to go out with your friends, to be reminded that this is life as well. To be back in your own reality. 

I really liked the webinar and to be listening to a person who has lived through many happenings and was able to capture so many of them in such amazing way.

Darkness and people in the middle of the city

The reflection of an old lady and the pop in the window makes an interesting story. It’s as if the old lady is remembering her old days when she was young and beautiful and it made her think of her youth.

The beauty of the night and stars. Forgetting to look at the sky and the stars is like forgetting who you really are - just a simple human being and realizing that there is so much more than your silly problems that you create in your head. 

Look at the bigger picture.
