I'm Usually a Conflict Photographer. Now, I'm Documenting My Family.
For the first time in my career I decided not to cover a major event. I'm seeing something more timeless and universal.
I was in Australia, working on a photographic project on the aftermath of the wildfires, and there was a moment when I realized that this pandemic was not being contained. It was spreading everywhere. My family was back in Switzerland, and I was playing these scenarios through my mind: Borders being closed. What if I get sick? What if I get stuck? What if my wife, Kathryn, gets sick, and I can’t reach her?
