“Drive by Shootings”
An american Portrait series during a pandemic.

Photography terms are very similar to the words we use to fire a gun or rifle. We aim at people, we take Headshots or shoot a Portrait; we pull the trigger or press the shutter. Then we frame you, and hang you on the wall, like a trophy hunter. Germans call a photo session a “Foto Shooting”. It sounds like a school shooting or mass shooting. The virus is random, unpredictable and invisible, like the bullets that kill innocent bystanders during a gang related drive by shooting around the world.....The gun however takes a moment, while the camera preserves a moment of time."
All portraits are photographed from the car in natural light, keeping the recommended distance during the stay at home orders. A literal “drive-by" photo shooting.
