The light side of visual storytelling

Who we are

Our main purpose is to showcase visual storytellers (journalism, documentary, press – photo & video) alongside the stories they create.
You can see all storytellers,  and their projects here.

We are the first platform to openly discuss trauma in photographic practises. Either those working in the fields of photojournalism or documentary projects in war and conflict zones. 

Before / After The Scene looks at the stories before and after an image was taken. We understand the pre- and post-photographic situations are as interesting as the final image.

What Makes You Click is our podcast, examining documentary photographers / videographers and their projects.
By shedding light on their work, we can help change what we see as important.

Words on the Street looks at the stories captured on the street. Photographing the daily life of people and their settings are another form of documentary photography, formed from cityscapes, portraits, architecture and social themes.

Why Important is our look at iconic images from throughout history. These images have advocated issues, show technological advancements and multiculturalism, et al.

The work of videographers and visual storytellers, along with film documentaries serve as powerful tools for education, awareness, and cultural preservation.

They provide accessible platforms for educating audiences on a wide range of topics, presenting complex information in a clear and engaging manner.

By shedding light on issues that may not receive mainstream attention, documentaries raise awareness about social, environmental, and political issues, inspiring viewers to take action and make positive changes in their communities and beyond.
