Suffolk photographer documents life in lockdown with doorstep portraits

A photographer from Suffolk has found a way of documenting lockdown life in pictures, while following social distancing rules.

Chad Brown from Sudbury launched The Front Step project at the end of April, aiming to snap portraits of families and those in isolation from their own front doorstep and him a healthy two metres away.

Chad says that the project has already been very popular in Sudbury and the surrounding villages - he has even had to draw up a waiting list.

Once the photographs are all collected, Chad hopes to put them together and give them to the Suffolk Archives.

He said:

As well as capturing portraits while standing on drive ways, Chad has also been taking portrait photographs of key workers to show what their life is like during the pandemic.
