Covering COVID-19
Covering COVID-19 was one of the most challenging and emotional times of my life. One day, while driving home, I got calls from a friend and my sister, both asking why I was being abused and threatened on Twitter. When I checked, I saw hateful messages accusing me of bringing shame to the country for photographing funeral pyres. I was heartbroken, especially as I was also dealing with personal losses and risking my life daily to document the pandemic. However, with the strong support of my family and friends, I continued my work until things gradually returned to normal.
