Staying Creative During COVID-19
Us creators have more free time now than ever before, which is why I set out to help local businesses. I posted a note on the Nextdoor app and offered my photography as a mindful collaboration, while following local safety guidelines and social distancing. When I didn’t get the response that I was hoping for I decided to look for an 'Open for Business' themed project on my own.
Coincidentally, this was around the same time I also promised my younger daughter a treat (a kind of a reward). When we stopped by our donut shop I was surprised to see that the bakery wasn’t nearly as busy as it used to be. They’ve taken all the proper measures to make people feel safe and comfortable, but most costumers still haven’t returned.
They had to find a new way to reach their customers and they definitely needed some imagery to convey their message and to bring the customers back in. After a short conversation I was given the opportunity to create images for their emailers and various social media channels.
