Virologist Isabella Eckerle

Mark Henley

Portrait for feature: "The tenacious one. Virologist Isabella Eckerle is one of the world's leading experts on coronaviruses. During the pandemic, she spoke out about what many didn't want to hear." An interesting challenge to make her portrait for a second time. It meant though that she had a degree of trust, let her guard down, making space for a suspended moment, caught in this image.
