The Work-Life of a Photographer during COVID-19

Thomas Asteriades is an English photographer from Cheshire, who studied photography when he was in university and had turned it from his passion and education into his freelance job. When lockdown hit England, Thomas, and many other people from the entertainment industry stopped working. That made Tom pursue his passion project, a COVID portrait series inspired by Chris Brian and Joe Pug. But when George Floyd was murdered, he decided to learn about the BLM movement, what it means in the UK and the best way to represent it through his photography. Thomas aims to bring out the human elements in all his projects. His ultimate dream is to shoot conflicts and experiment with documentaries.
