16 Quarantine Portraits That I Took With A Drone To Show Everyone That It Can Be Fun

ADVERTISEMENT

I took my drone and photographed people in their homes through their windows and on their terraces. It's a 100% zero-human-contact way to see how people are going crazy during quarantine isolation times.

When Lithuania went under quarantine, all my photography jobs in advertising were canceled, events postponed or canceled, and I was sitting without any job and thinking, "what the heck is going on and how can I solve this puzzle?" Eventually, I knew that I needed to take some interesting photos, but this social distance thing was a tricky thing. At first, I thought of offering to shoot people with a telephoto lens, but then I remembered I use a drone in my wedding photography and drone photography is a totally zero-human-contact way to capture things. I shot a few of my friends, the photo ideas gained a lot of likes, and the project took off.

I started this photo series to give people a chance to brighten their day in this negative corona information environment. I believe that these funny photos remind everyone that sitting quarantined at home can be fun too. And, of course, to remind everybody that you need to keep your social distance during these times.

Update: All of these hilarious photos were taken with consent and I have permission from these interesting people to share their images.

Did aliens bring covid 19 and I missed it or what? Is that why they are wearing aluminum hats?

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

It's lovely to see how people are embracing their silly side. And good for you for using a drone, instead of thinking it's "cool" to walk around deserted streets, like some idiot pandas are doing.

Am I the only one who thinks this is kind of creepy? If a random drone flew up and started taking pictures of me my first instinct would not be to pose and smile.

I think it's interesting to see the difference in how people decided to get ready for this. Some people picking out outfits and poses and getting full on ready, where others seem to just be living their lives and wearing what they'd be wearing anyway. Specifically the ones in robes just getting their food ready. Love it.

My brother, his wife and their 2 kids (2 & 6) live in a tiny two bedroom apartment in St. Louis. Sister-in-law is a major extrovert. They're both trying to work from home, entertain their toddler and homeschool their 6 year old all in that incredibly small apartment. I honestly don't know how they do it. I have 2 kids around the same age, but we live in a house on a 40 acre farm. Tomorrow we're going to go on a nature walk in the pasture with the baby goat. Can't really do that in an apartment complex in a big city. I'd run out of ideas and patience within days.

Bleh. I was hoping for normal moments captured. Not a well coordinated social media stunt. It kind of defeats the purpose. So a bunch of people coordinated costumes and stood at their windows with cheesy props to pose for you...
