2020th all! And we continue to sum up the results of the year. Photographers are on the agenda. We learned from them whether they filmed by facetime, whether there were more projects and how to reassemble ourselves in difficult times.
Make-up artists have already told us about the results of 2020, here are the founders of beauty salons. And here you can read about the fate of gyms.

Everyone in the industry, including me, has an increased sense of themselves, their needs. Many familiar photographers even jumped off the "New Year's race" and filmed only until the twentieth of December. I also realized how important it is to stop and focus on yourself.
Filming this year did not decrease even during quarantine: they are always needed by everyone. Now, video is often more relevant and in demand than photography - I am also gradually switching to this format. Shooting becomes closer to reality, diversity appears. Beauty brands, for example, are looking for “imperfect” or age-old models.

The year taught me to listen to myself, not to be driven into frames, to listen to intuition and to observe more.
Ivan Ozerov, photographer @ozerov_photo
The number of filming has leveled off: now there are the same number as before the pandemic. The only significant change is that I rely less on private and advertising projects and work for a photo stock.
I did not work in quarantine. At the beginning of the pandemic, he left for Altai and stayed there for four months. I rested in total safety. Something I, of course, was filming at this time, but rather for myself. There are shots of life in the outback, nature.

I tried to take pictures through facetime. To be honest, nothing good happened: it was difficult to synchronize and the quality of the connection often let down.
Evgeniya Filatova, photographer and artist @jeniafilatova
For me, 2020 is wow. Best time in life, to be honest. For many years I had no days off at all, but I was depressed. I have cried for several hours a day for the past seven years. Now a miracle has happened: rest, meditation, air, sun and running have fixed everything.

I don’t count the number of filming, money, protective masks, and I don’t notice these external things at all. I just started appreciating and admiring the people I shoot even more. Hopefully no one will be locked up, as for most of them this is incredible stress.
The past year tells us: save the airbag.
Ksyusha Kargina, fashion and celebrity photographer, landscape painter, @karginaki
There are more projects, especially in recent months. I am glad that somewhere commerce has become more creative, and creativity - commercial. Photographers quickly adapted to new conditions, learned patience and understanding.
During isolation, I completely put photography aside, facetime is not my topic. I devoted this period to solving internal worldview issues - an exciting adventure in my life.
Ksyusha Kargina for Flacon Magazine
In 2020, the people in my environment have become deeper, making work only more interesting. My main lesson of the year: to do what you like, you need to put your life in order.
Dmitry Zhuravlev, photographer, @zhuravlevdmitry
Now the number of filming returns to the past, there are even more of them than before the quarantine. True, three months of complete isolation are still missing, when everything almost stopped.
I don't believe in face-time shooting. Photography is light and optics that are simply impossible to remotely control. But I did some work in quarantine - they brought me items, and then they took them away. And so during the lockdown he was engaged in carpentry - he put it off for many years. Now there are a lot of nice things at home, and an oak or walnut reminder of quarantine is in almost every room. I also managed to practice some computer programs not related to photography.
Dmitry Zhuravlev for Flacon Magazine
There is a mask mode on the set, before some filming you need to do tests, sign consents and indulge in general paranoia, but all this does not greatly affect. In general, nothing has changed radically this year.
