An incredible opportunity for you and your students to get involved in a worth while cause
Posted on | November 17, 2009 | No Comments
Perhaps one of the most interesting and worth while causes that I ‘ve heard about in a while is this Help -Portrait movement. As someone in the photography field, if you spend any time on the internet or Facebook you’ve probably heard something about this. It is the brainchild of celebrity photographer Jeremy Cowart, Help-Portrait is a movement of photographers who are using their time, equipment and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate this holiday season.
Help-Portrait is not a non-profit organization. It is a movement. As they describe it on their web site, “This is about GIVING the pictures, not taking them. These portraits are not for your portfolio, website, or for sale. Money isn’t involved here. This holiday season, you have the chance to give a family something they may have never had before- a portrait together.”
How do you get involved? Head to the Help-Portrait Community page and sign up. You will probably find other people, including photographers, volunteers, and others in your town or one close to you. If not, be the first in your city and start a new group! Your college or university is probably an excellent place to host this event! If there is anything that the MAC Group or I can do help you pull off this event please let us know.
