In this special episode of the Podcast, Tanya Nagar returns to launch a special project with me and first-time guest Tom Clabots, a photographer based in Antwerp, Belgium.
The three of us have spent some of our isolation establishing @covidstreet, a place where we can come together and document the developing crisis around the world, while staying within the rules, and with the ultimate goal of producing a book that we can sell to raise money to help in the aftermath.
If that sounds a big ask, well, you can read more about the plan or, of course, listen to the podcast.

Some examples on the feed…
As well as the three of us, capturing Covid from Croydon, Leyton & Antwerp, we have been joined by a number of other photographers, who’s work you’ll find when you start to explore the Instagram feed, and our Stories.
Specifically, we’ve been joined by @i_abdulmunaff in Hydrabad, India, @joeseth.carter in London Fields, @clickte_raho, Delhi, India, @rollerzoomph in Madrid, Spain, @admphotography17 in Rome, Italy, @delcourt.charles in Brussels, @ipons in Milan, Italy, and @itsmewalterc in the USA, to name just a few. Again explore the feed to see everyone and everywhere.
Plus, if you’ve seen something we haven’t, and want to join in, have a listen, see if you like us, and (I’m sure you will), go ahead and get in touch, or just share by tagging us on your posting and we’ll call you!
