When three Australasian photographers decided to create a Zine of Covid-19 related images during the initial outbreak, they could never have guessed it would come out just as New Zealand and Australia are facing a second round of infections.
Palmerston North-based Tony Reddrop got in touch with expat Simon Ross in Sydney and Australian photographer Marty Walker in the Blue Mountains, to talk about a joint project about the pandemic.
The result - Now It's Getting Serious - includes images that range from a Barbie doll wearing a mask and a sole bus passenger, to a hastily hand written sign saying "Go Home Now!! Don't Stay Here. Or near anyone."
Lynn Freeman talks with all three photographers of the zine. Now Its Getting Serious is by Tony Reddrop, Marty Walker and Simon Ross.
