We go back for
what the camera missed.
A studio for the memory of territories & the memory of the land. We report the story then we build the thing you read. Below, a sampler of some interesting things we make.
Documentary stories across territories and years, carried from the first frame to the finished piece. Click any image to enlarge.
Photographs made as records. Samples collected in the field and photographed on neutral ground; our own nadir flights, with positions logged so the same point can be flown again.

Own flight, nadir
We take the pictures, we write the words, we design the page. Everything below runs live.

Narrative interactives that set our Reimagining the Spanish Civil War work apart: archival journeys rebuilt on the map, with original sound. Press play on each.
Sites demolished or paved over, rebuilt as animated studies from archive and aerial work. We make a place that was erased legible again.
We track down, digitise and preserve photographic archives that were scattered, hidden or forgotten, and bring them back into the story. These are images we recovered and restored.
We arrange hundreds of archival fragments into one large image: catalogues, faces, brochures, postcards. Seen together, they read differently. Click any to enlarge.
Documentary shorts and non-fiction video, direction to final cut, with support from institutions such as the National Geographic Society. Filmed in Sotalbo, Ávila.
Programmes on visual narrative and the memory of place, such as Visual Storytelling and Environmental Memory, for emerging visual journalists.
We design exhibitions as carefully as we make the work itself: how the images are sequenced, printed and hung, how a room is read from wall to wall. We have shown across Spain and at Les Rencontres d'Arles, and we publish our own books when a story asks for the page.
Bring us a story of memory or land. We’ll build it. Probably with maps.
