Photographer Ale Burset has shot campaigns for Burger King, Volkswagen, Lavazza and Nike, but his latest project isn’t connected to a major brand.

The Madrid-based photographer has started a new portrait project, which captures people socially distancing at their homes during the pandemic. To photograph his subjects, Burset doesn’t leave his home, either.

Since March, Burset has shot portraits of over 130 people around the world for his non-commercial project called Us by Us. Burset, who’s originally from Argentina and has worked in the advertising world since 2002, said he was inspired to start the remote portrait series to demonstrate how people are having a universal experience.
