This was a fun project. The Fairfax County Department of Health asked me to help with photos for a fotonovela. The photos I took would be used to educate people who speak Spanish about good health practices related to COVID-19.

My job was to go on location to a home where a willing family posed for photos. For their safety, I was dressed head to toe in protective gear. So, little blue booties over my shoes; a protective gown draped all over me; a well-fitting N95 mask; a plastic face shield; and a hair covering.

I set up a blue screen so it would be easier to remove the background from the photos. As you can see, the Health Department and its consultant ERG did a great job.
