Giving Sample - Covid 19 samples were taken by this glass cabinet at the hospital where I took photos for my project. The doctor who took the example was very overwhelmed in the glass cabinet with hot air. There was also a lot of intensity that day. What the doctor feels understood from his body language; being stuck in glass cabinet within the protective cloths in a hot weather and intensity of patience numbers...In fact, this was also a photo of what humanity felt in Covid 19 days.

Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Musée Magazine

“One of the great things about judging a competition during this shut down period is that it’s like taking a walk and getting to see a large number of things you wouldn’t get to see on any regular walk. That is the case with the Lucie  Foundation photo competition entitled In Isolation: You, Me, We…. because you suddenly feel so very liberated and that, indeed, we are in this together.” – Maggie Steber, Juror

 

 

“I was impressed with the high quality of entries—it was hard to judge with so many wonderful images. I enjoyed the diversity of styles and perspectives represented, and was personally drawn to images that had a strong emotional quality, in which photographers shared their passion and communicated their very personal point of view.” – Gerd Ludwig, Juror

This Open Call is in partnership with Musée Magazine and Sony.
