Confinement in Tenerife

Date of Work Mar 2020 - Apr 2020

Updated Jun 2020

Location Playa San Juan, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

Images from home during the State of Emergency declared by the Spanish government in response to the Covid-19, Corona virus, pandemic. We are lucky to have a terrace and balcony with amazing views and I made many photographs to document our environment whilst confined to our apartment and from trips out for essential reasons. It's an eclectic set of images reflecting my photographic interests telling the story from a very personal viewpoint.
