Genevieve Ackland, Sophia on Film (PEOPLE 2020)

Sophia was on the cusp of a budding career when the pandemic of Covid-19 hit Victoria, and she swiftly lost her job, her social life, and her sense of grounded footing in the world. At 22 years old, she is caught up in a waiting game, hoping that the clouds of uncertainty for the future will pass. A life on pause, Sophia is watching her youth be wasted, outside of her control, with a patience and fortitude of a young woman ready for opportunity. These images are double exposures captured on 35mm film using a 1964 rangefinder camera.
