Kroo Bay Fashion

I'm currently researching a piece on the photojournalists/videographers who are documenting Kroo Bay in Sierra Leone. Their body of work is astounding, including 360° images with videos, interviews, stills slideshows and sound captures to help convey a sense of place. Some of the videos are also on YouTube, including this short piece on the fashion of Kroo Bay. The way the people from Kroo Bay walk and pose their clothes, as if on a catwalk in London or Paris, is just brilliant and is an exceptional piece of documentary work.

There's a huge amount of other images and "webisodes" to explore on the Save The Children site. Fascinating and well worth watching, even if as a lesson in photo/video documentary.
