In February 2016, a friend forwarded me an email announcing Tate was looking for Volunteers. I knew very little about Contemporary Art, but Tate was accommodating in teaching us.
I have been a professional photographer since 1985, covering News, PR and Corporate events – Steve Daszko
I was Volunteer Visitor Host at Tate Modern for three years and then switched to Tate Britain, where I still am part of the team.
When the first lockdown started in March last year, Tate, like all Art Galleries, suffered. Towards the end of last year, I decided to undertake my own photo project entitled “Museums and Art Galleries in lockdown”, only shooting images at night, when it became clear that the lockdown was here to stay.
