Hobley shot these series before the Covid-19 pandemic. Later, during the lock-down she experimented with different kind of papers, developing processes and toning. The last one of this post is a cyanotype print toned in tea and coffee: “This photograph was taken on a shoot last year and printed using a large format negative and sunlight, during the lockdown.” quoted from Hobley’s Facebook page
