Aerial Photos Show Coronavirus Lockdown from Above
Tom Hegen, a Munich-based photographer, has released 'The Lockdown Series,' a collection of aerial photographs capturing the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on global aviation. The images show runways at airports worldwide closed and used as parking areas for grounded aircraft. Hegen notes that aviation, a key driver of globalization, has been halted by the pandemic, which spread from Wuhan globally. In April 2020, worldwide air traffic fell dramatically, and airplanes, once symbols of globalization, now symbolize the lockdown. Hegen's work is showcased on his website and Instagram.
