COVID DIARY is a powerful visual diary by New York City photographer Beth Galton, created during the first year of the pandemic. The project served as a way for her to process the grief, anger, and anxiety she experienced during that time. Combining elements of a diary and an art exhibit, the book reflects her response to the pandemic and the human impact the crisis had. Departing from her commercial work, Galton blends botanical imagery with pandemic data, capturing both beauty and tension. Featuring an essay by Joan Duncan Oliver, COVID DIARY offers a poignant visual record of this unprecedented time.
“My career as a photographer has embodied storytelling, whether commercially or personally. During the early years of Covid, I understood more fully that our stories are intertwined, individual, unique, personal, and collective.” – Beth Galton
