After moving to France, Beck began shooting everyday objects and self-portraits in her studio in Apt,[19] [20] where she created her Provençal Self Portrait series. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Beck created a series called Isolation Creation which featured members of her online community.[21] The series incorporated one photograph per day of lockdown and was shared via Instagram stories. Her images, influenced by the weather, a feeling or current event, would display a creation that would capture the beauty that was true of the day.[22] [23] Beck sold the images in her online shop with funds raised to go to Foundation for Contemporary Arts' COVID-19 Emergency Grants Fund. As of November 2022, Beck has 368,000 Instagram followers.
