To say that 2020 was an unusual year would, of course, be an understatement. As for so many, it became a year absorbed in trying to protect loved ones and to safeguard the more vulnerable. Documentary work as a photographer necessarily had to take a backseat, to the point that for long periods of the year it simply did not happen. A small price to pay when so many have suffered so much.
Little over a week into February, I found myself having to shield for medical reasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, switching soon after to home schooling for the remainder of the spring and the summer terms. I then worked occasionally from the summer onwards, but always on subjects of interest which afforded relative safety and where good social distancing was possible. That, of course, meant many compromises and having to pass on events in core subject areas that I would ordinarily have covered.
Thank you to all those I pictured during 2020 and to all of you who have done so much to keep us safe and well, not least in the NHS.
Special thanks also to all the brave activists who made huge sacrifices in striving every single day in the most challenging of circumstances to try to preserve our precious environment for all at a time of climate emergency. The climate emergency is more pressing than ever after a year of pandemic.
