THE FREELANCER PROJECT

JONATHAN FANG // CINEMATOGRAPHER

I always loved imagery growing up with an artist father. I believe life is to forever learn, to feel, then to express.

It was looking like a promising year as it was my first year full-time freelancing, and I had a shoot lined up every single week until everything was cancelled.

Covid-19 affected my relationship for a period. I think in high stress situations it can bring out quite vulnerable aspects within each self.

However, it’s tightened my relationship with direct family. We are much closer, talking more and helping each other. I’ve had conversations with family about stuff we have never talked about before such as future goals, relationships and feelings.

Before my dog passed I spent as much time with him as I could. Now I work on renos and my yard, watch movies, read and take photos... Anything that can still spark my inspiration.

I’m fully embracing nature… playing with my neighbour's horse; building a bee house, and planting vegetables in the yard. I would love to one day rely less on the outside world as much as possible. Organic home grown is the goal.

My vices? Procrastinating. Dreaming. Thinking of ideas but not following through with any of them.

We live in a society where it’s much more convenient to point blame than to offer sympathy. Use this time to appreciate what you have always had and not on what you lost.
