The Resilience Project, Photographs and Audio.

There’s an audio and photographic component to the Stories of Resilience Project. My goal was to shoot a film with a single still portrait frame for each story. Helene’s audio captures are all so beautiful and vivid, I had a high bar to match. Sometimes I had her audio to reference, sometimes we captured the words and images during the same visit and I would just listen in. We worked so hard and intensely on these stories during capture and during hours of post-production that it felt like we knew our subjects like old friends, we didn’t though, we could only imagine the darker moments they navigated. I have chosen key images from the stills collection and Helene has chosen short grabs of the more in-depth audio. I’ve put them together in this condensed video so you can have a sense of the stories quickly. I hope you enjoy engaging with their worlds. You can also click on any of the images to go straight to the video.
