THE STORY BEHiND THE MOVEMENT
|
Eyewitness was created by Fabrizia Costa, a photographer, mentor, and creative director with over a decade of experience helping professionals in the photography industry build meaningful, human-centred businesses.
The idea for Eyewitness began years ago, after seeing how many families and photographers had lost touch with the physical photograph. Thousands of images were being taken, yet almost none were printed – and whole chapters of people’s lives were quietly disappearing into digital storage. In 2020, the project was due to launch at The Photography Show UK, but was postponed when the pandemic began. During that time, Fabrizia and the Collective of Ambassadors helped coordinate a global print auction that raised funds for Médecins Sans Frontières, with works generously donated by internationally recognised photographers – including members of Magnum and other leading names in the field. That experience confirmed the power of photography to unite people across borders and to make a tangible difference. Eyewitness was born from that same belief: that our memories, our stories, and our humanity deserve to be preserved – not just stored. Today Fabrizia leads the creative and communications direction of Eyewitness, working with international collaborators, educators, and sponsors to bring the movement to life. |
