Unfold stories

Jess is one of the industry’s finest creative thinkers and a pleasure to work with. Jess understands well the challenges that global humanitarian organisations face in their communications and campaigns, and how to bring the best and most cutting edge techniques to any brief. Jess’s research on lens-based media ethics is also highly regarded, and a major bonus for anyone looking to modernise their approach to third sector comms.

Unfold Stories asked me to come on board as Creative Director with a brief from Good ID to tell the stories of people struggling with issues of identification security.

The project covered stories from multiple countries who needed their identity hiding in some cases, but that also needed to be engaging. An unanticipated challenge that we also had to face was how to gather the stories in a pandemic where the contributors often had to shoot the stories themselves or use their existing imagery. The end result was a look that combined text, double exposures and details to bring to life these complex stories.
