Dina! So cool! Thanks for taking us behind the scenes of this project. In each location, you had the subject, a family member to hold the phone (or iPad) and a local assistant who set up the lighting gear...is that correct? And one more question for you: are you only looking through the camera--or you're also connected over zoom to see the entire environment from a more pulled back point of view?...Love the portraits--especially the guy with the red bowtie! This process really define's the concept of "working from home!" Inspiring! Thank you! Landon
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing. I know that phrase is used a lot by the members of the Hare Krishna movement, but I don't know of any other way of saying it.
Hi Dina! Thanks for showing us this behind the scenes look into a remote photo shoot. Absolutely inspiring work. It's something I have been curious about, but have never tried to do myself. I love the idea of removing the constraints of geography and making a connection and really great portrait with someone from the other side of the globe. Just curious what was the average amount of time you were spending with the subjects on a remote shoot like this? As with any shoot I'm sure it was all in the planning, but I also know lighting can be tricky in addition with possible technical glitches (as you mentioned) and directing the lighting tech. I imagine though using continuous lighting and available light must make the process a bit easier than using strobes. How much directing were you doing with the lighting assistant? It would be great to hear a little more about that.

Thank you Landon! And yes to both questions.

Love this generous, in depth behind the scenes, Dina. And working with Kathy and Amy, always a treat!
