Gear rentals house Lensrentals recently conducted a survey of over 1,000 photographers and videographers to see how the coronavirus pandemic has affected their businesses. The results show just how hard some photographers have been hit.
Photographer Sanwal Deen has been working on a new personal project, titled "Work." It's an exploration of different careers found around the world, and how work is a thread by which individuals all over the world are connected.
I started getting into photography when I was in my mid-to-late teens. I bought a 35mm Minolta XG7 at a local yard sale during my freshman year, and around the same time I took a 3 week summer darkroom course at a local community college. I got really in to it, but when I finally finished high school I went straight into the workforce. I jumped around various manual labor and retail jobs until I was 21. This is when I got married, and shortly thereafter I began considering the distant possibility of making a career out of my hobby.
