The Family Portrait Project
The Skype Stay Together campaign highlighted various heartfelt stories of family and friends keeping in touch over long distances. We captured these moments in a memorable way, by photographing a special family portrait through a Skype projection on the wall. The result is a uniquely special family portrait that joins loved ones in the real and digital world.
This is the story of Denis who is separated from his home in Uganda, but keeps in touch with his family and adopted son over Skype.
A campaign blog hosted additional content, as well as a contest where people could share and vote on real stories of how they use Skype to stay in communication with faraway family and friends.
The most remarkable story submitted in the contest was that of Sarah from Nappanee, Indiana, about her unique friendship with Paige from Auckland, New Zealand.
