Coping with covid - report from a health worker on the front line Photography Insights - important industry interviews by Phlogger

As you already know I'm starting this series of interviews to document what is going on with this pandemic.  We are featuring an array of people from different places in the world, so we get an even picture of what is happening.

Today's guest stands out in some ways because of his role in life - health care. Today I want you to welcome David Collyer who works as an anaesthetist assistant in a hospital in Abergavenny, Wales, UK.

David joined the show with his son Ned on episode 61 in 2019 and was very popular due to the unique relationship.  He spends his time documenting all manner of subjects from portraiture to landscapes and everyday life.  David has a very good eye for detail and showing characters, whilst being able to develop his own work (yes another film shooter).

However, that is not his full story, David also has been given permission to shoot inside his hospital and help document about the crisis.

So listen to this show as we talk about:


health protection equipment
UK predicated figures
private medical care
Queen's toilet seat
work/life balance
shooting Covid on film
NHS funding
time off & hobbies



Covid

93,000 infected

12,100 deaths as of 13 April
