What we do
We use visual storytelling, design, and publishing (print, digital, web, multimedia), to create and produce powerful tools for social innovation in small, marginalized communities. Through our work, we empower ideas, develop projects, and advocate for those typically ignored by mainstream media.
Our work is people-centered, with an emphasis on long-term, in-depth, collaborative projects that commemorate and celebrate the superstars of the everyday: the underserved, the socially ignored, the culturally overlooked, those who – in trying to make the most of their lives and the lives of others – struggle to defend human dignity, the most powerful tool for progress on both an individual and a collective level.
Ayzoh! is multidisciplinary
In addition to our professionals working in the field – photographers, documentary filmmakers and social researchers – Ayzoh! has an editorial laboratory and a design studio that can meet all the needs of modern communication and follow all types of projects from the initial idea to the final product.
Our visual storytellers – supported by our team of social researchers and a network of collaborators active in many areas of the world – are used to working in extremely difficult conditions and have the credibility to deal with sensitive and complex social issues.
Our designers then uses the most appropriate techniques and tools (print, web, video, multimedia installations and live events), depending on the needs of each specific project, to transform the work done in the field into products and/or initiatives with a strong social impact.
Who we work with
We work with (not for) small marginalized communities, underrepresented people groups, and local organizations that – despite adverse conditions (social, political, economic, environmental) – are committed to creating unity, value, awareness, equity, knowledge, and shared beauty.
We are particularly interested in supporting initiatives that benefit the community in which they are implemented, but also provide inspiration on a broader level.
Each Ayzoh! project is therefore also an invitation to consider what can be preserved, improved, abandoned, revised or created from scratch in order to reclaim the concept of being a true community, in the territorial sense, but above all in the human sense.
Where we work
Ayzoh! is nomadic by nature. We work in many countries around the world and in all areas that affect the life of a community: work, politics, business, human relations, art, music, fashion, architecture, education, spiritual and religious practices.
We explore daily life in urban, rural and marine environments. We document the scientific and technological laboratories where the ideas of the future are born, but we also immerse ourselves in ancient folk traditions, especially those that echo universal values that transcend time and place on our planet.
