Step 1 Put your laptop up on a stack of books so the camera is slightly higher than your head. Then, point it down into your eyes. Step 2 Take a tall lamp and set it next to the computer on the side of your face you feel is best. The lamp should be in line with and slightly behind the computer, so the light falls nicely on your preferred profile. Step 3 Then put a piece of white paper or a white tablecloth on the table you are sitting at but make sure it can’t be seen in the frame. It will give you a bit of fill and bounce. Don’t forget the powder!
Caring for the vulnerable
Singapore-based design and manufacturing company IndustryPlus is introducing Industry +, a brand dedicated to contemporary design furniture and accessories. It will also donate 10% of its proceeds from Shallows vases to the Sayang Sayang Fund, started by the Community Foundation of Singapore to provide support for healthcare workers and vulnerable communities such as isolated seniors and low-income families who are impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The fund is looking to support vulnerable communities especially impacted by the virus outbreak — like the 7,000 children from low-income families who are now at risk from losing access to meals provided in schools with the implementation of homebased learning. Purchase details available by email at [email protected] industryplus.com.sg . Free delivery is offered within Singapore for all purchases of Shallows items.

From suits to medical suits
The Zegna Group has put their expertise in making well-tailored suits to medical suits. They are one of the many fashion brands parlaying their skills to step up the fight against the global Covid-19 crisis. Their aim is to produce 280,000 units — this will then be sent to health care workers in the various regions of Italy.
