Grazia honours NHS workers in ‘From The Frontline’ special edition
Featuring four split covers each displaying a different member of staff the magazine was diligently put together by staff working from home with photographers obeying social distancing guidelines by capturing their subjects in hospital car parks at the required distance.
Grazia editor Hattie Brett commented: “Undoubtedly there are many heroes that have emerged over the last few weeks – from delivery drivers and supermarket workers to teachers keeping classrooms open. But those on the frontline, most exposed to the virus, are the NHS workers. They’re going above and beyond to battle the physical and emotional effects of Covid-19 – risking their own lives to help us all. We owe them all enormous gratitude; and this week’s issue of Grazia is our attempt to say thank you to the NHS and let their workers send a clear message to us all.
“The cover shoot was like none I’ve ever worked on; shot in a matter of minutes in the car parks of NHS hospitals, maintaining social distancing, before Dr Janitha Gowribalan, Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, paramedic Sarah Blanchard and nurse Richenda Browne went back to their day jobs – saving lives.”
Grazia publisher Lauren Hollyoake, added: “The team have created a powerful issue – all done with each individual member working from their own home. An outstanding feat. Grazia will continue to create relevant first-class content and adapt in order to connect with the changing lives of our audience in the coming weeks and months.”
Digital downloads of the landmark edition are being made freely available to all NHS workers.
