Sign of the Times – Self Portrait

On 26 March, New Zealand entered an unprecedented state of lockdown for over five weeks to combat the spread of the Covid-19 disease. With the population largely confined to home and unable to physically interact, many of our professional photographers stepped up to the challenge of keeping creative. Portrait photographer Ilan Wittenberg had been using his allowed daily exercise time to safely document the way his Auckland neighbourhood had transformed during the lockdown in the series Sign of the Times. While those images are excellent, it is this self-portrait he created during a day he couldn’t face the outside world that truly speaks to the lockdown experience. D-Photo magazine, June 2020
