This was the first time I saw two of my best friends after lockdown, and I was over the moon that they agreed to lend me their faces for this project! This is also the first proper photo shoot I've been able to do this year, and it was just the most thrilling experience to be able to get back behind the camera. For this visual diary, I wanted to communicate the common emotions people experienced during lockdown through my photos, and these are the best of the bunch. I think these are some of the best images I've taken in a while because I was so glad to be out with my friends and it made me enjoy the experience of the shoot even more, which comes through in these photos everytime I look at them. I'm proud of these photographs (it's the first time in a long while I didn't fall out with Photoshop!) because I think they convey the emotions I wanted them to really well and I hope that people can relate to them and find comfort in the fact that they didn't struggle alone with these turbulent emotions through the past year.
