I WAS THERE
I WAS THERE is an audio/visual storytelling series featuring short first person narratives that take biggest stories down to human scale.
The digital shorts are powerfully presented with an elegant mix of imagery, sound and gripping storytelling. Foshay created the series during the global pandemic and the racial unrest as a platform to elevate community voices. The concept is purposely open ended so it can tell any story/issue/event. Editing and graphics by Michael Ray. Photography by Foshay and Trevor Jackson. Below are samples of the series.
