Originally from New Dehli India, Ashima Yadava is a photographer who works with a documentary ,story telling, style with keen interests in gender equality, race, and social injustice as well as believes are it a means of social activism and reform. In her Series "The Front Yard" she went around during a time of quarantine and photographed her neighborhood and the people inside, after that she went back and handed the people back images of their photos asking them to make marks on them in whichever way they thought. Her subject matter in this case is able to have a say in these works. I found interest in these due to her ideal of letting them decorate their images and how she chose to go around and capture them in front of their house in a unique way.

Miracolo in a New York photographer who focuses on the aspect of transition and the aspect of time. In this post however I am specifically looking at one series she did called "Imagined Moments from the porch". Throughout this series she has placed herself on a porch and has taken photos in the same spot and same setting with different individuals throughout her neighborhood, capturing this sense of community and identity in the process.
