The corona virus lockdown has changed the World and also created an amazing photography experience At the time of writing this blog I am in day 11 of social distancing rules in Austria. Most of the World is operating under new social distancing rules. These rules have left the streets quieter in order to stop the spread of the Covid 19 virus and also created an amazing photography experience. Under normal circumstances I photograph hotels for a living. My work started drying up a couple of weeks ago as the uncertainty started to kick-in.

The West coast of Barbados is lined with hotels and posh restaurants sitting along the relatively calm blue and turquoise sea, all in the front row for some of Barbados’ most magnificent sunsets. It should be obvious that we’d love to capture one (or more) of these burning skies while on the island for our two weeks of shooting for various hotels and destination spots. They are sought after not only by clients, but every paradise pining guest searching the web. So we wait. Every evening. Camera in hand and watching the skies with hope. And every night we’re met with clouds at the horizon and vaguely pastel hints rather than the colorful array everyone keeps showing us on their Instagram account. The reason, we’re told, is that we’re in the unfortunate wake of Sahara Dust. Now, the everyday person would never call the weather bad on any scale and […]
