Find a person in need - take their photo - print it - and deliver!

What a concept! We love it!

We as professional photographers take photos for granted sometimes. Believe it or not, there are thousands and probably closer to millions of people who have NEVER had a photograph taken, let alone a Professional one.

That photo you give, might just be the one that helps that person get that job that they so desperatly need. That photo might just be the one that helps reunite a family. You never know.

So what are you waiting for, GET OUT, GET INVOLVED AND GIVE BACK!

Check your area for local HELP PORTRAIT events, they are pretty much worldwide, so I'm sure there is one close to you. If not, then organize one!

A Nikon D700 Camera, 50mm f/1.4 (but the 50mm f/1.8 is just as good and a lot less expensive), Westcott Scrim and Reflector....that's it!

Remember, do not let the lack of gear ruin your photographic day! Make the best with what you have. If you do not have a scrim and reflector a you can pickup a cheap reflector alternative called a Car Shade, they are a little less effective but work just the same.

Whatever you have, use it and give back!

Enjoy the images and leave comments! We love comments!
