It feels like we should be documenting this incredibly strange moment in history.
While many of us are keeping diaries or writing letters about our experiences of the coronavirus pandemic, LA-based photographer Caroline White has created a stunning snapshot of life in lockdown.
Caroline has been photographing lockdown portraits through people’s windows – and the end results capture these dark times in a surprisingly beautiful way.
The photographer usually spends her days travelling around to do photoshoots with clients, but when California went into lockdown she was forced to stay put.
Like many people, Caroline feared for her business. She decided to change her approach and get creative, and is now getting booked by people around LA who want portraits in lockdown, taken with social distancing measures in place.

For each photoshoot she directs the subjects either over speakerphone or by shouting as they listen through a slightly opened window.
‘Photography in the Age of Quarantine is a roller coaster of emotions, newness, strangeness, sadness, creativity, and so much more,’ said Caroline. ‘I’ve been really enjoying capturing my friends, neighbors, and just got two client bookings now for QuickShoots behind glass.’
