COVID-19 changed workflow for millions of people. Unfortunately, it's also meant a loss of employment for millions too. Luckily, I still have a job. But I'm doing it much differently. My station's parent company made a decision to have reporters work from home. Photographers still go out, in some cases, to gather video and to cover press conferences. I thought "there's no way I can do this!" But necessity required me to get out of my comfort zone. I'm shooting stand-ups and myself "on camera" using the latest iPhone. It actually works pretty well. The phone's voice recorder is what I use to "track" packages. I then text or email materials to the photog who edits pieces for air. I'm not an MMJ, MSJ, or "one-man-band" as we used to call it. But maybe I am, after all.. Just in my own way. The attached story (about a PPE giveaway) features a stand-up I shot in my kitchen.
