When Covid stimulates creativity. Dutch photographer and artist Jitske Schols made portraits of students who studied abroad, but were forced to return home. Remotely, with FaceTime. She directed and coached her subjects and made the portraits with a simple screen shot.

The series won the second prize in the ‘portraits’ category at the Zilveren Camera photo competition.

Story first, medium later. That’s my philosophy when working on web-based stories. Online storytelling allows for true engagement. Find out which medium works best for your story and start building a multimedia longscroll, an interactive photo series, a photo and audio slideshow, a 360, or an interactive storymap.

On this page you find the interactive, multimedia, crossmedia and other hybrid stories I made for my clients in non-profit, media and the creative sector.
