The ever-spreading coronavirus has complicated life for almost everyone and caused an unprecedented series of unprecedented drastic measures. A lot of people are thus forced to stay at their place of residence, work from home and socialize as little as possible, which can be the most limiting factor when performing a number of professions. Fortunately, however, people are quite resourceful creatures who always manage somehow even in the biggest crisis. It is no different for photographers who, for the sake of their livelihood, have had to resort to unorthodox methods that enable them to photograph clients de facto online.

While just a few weeks ago, almost no one could have imagined that the vast majority of people would be employedancú resorted to working from home, now this bold idea is becoming an everyday reality due to quarantine measures. However, they are not only working online toancworkers, but also various creative professions, such as photographers. Although the concept of "remote photography" might seem unrealistic, a few experienced minds in the field have come up with a rather unique idea of how to perform their work almost without restrictions using only the internet and without the need for interpersonal contact. One of them is professional photographer Alessio Albi, who takes pictures of models all over the world for Condé Nast magazine. Since he is currently staying in Italy, the most affected country in Europe, he decided to use FaceTime and photograph his clients via video call.
"I've always had a need to create, ever since 2011, when I first started photography. At the same time, however, I would like to emphasize that even in these difficult times, human communication is essential, and therefore I would like to use this time to continue to devote myself to my work and to talk to my clients online," expressed Alessio. Although it is necessary to mention that a web camera is almost incomparable with professional equipment, but as they say, good photographers can conjure up a decent picture using almost anything. However, it is definitely a creative approach and it is good that similar professions were not intimidated by the sudden difficult conditions. We'll see what else Alessio and others come up with.
