It’s hard to imagine places like LA ever being the same again.

With huge parts of the world going into lockdown back in March, including California, we were presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity to see what huge cities and budding metropoles looked like with minimal human activity. It was an opportunity to great for director Dan Shetron to turn down and, as you can see from the video below, the results are compelling (if not eerie).

In March 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a statewide lockdown in California in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Residents were asked to shelter in place, and all non-essential businesses were shuttered. Now, as California faces its second outbreak and lockdown in July, we look back at the challenges we faced just four months ago. This visual portrait of Los Angeles is a reminder of what we’ve been through—and what we’re still up against.
