A good friend of mine, the wife of my best friend, has been diagnosed with breast cancer in her mid-twenties. She found it after her mother was diagnosed the week before.
They live 2,000 miles away, so there isn’t a whole lot I can do for them from here, and, honestly, there isn’t a lot a photographer can offer. Many photographers in this situation make calendars as fundraisers, and I saw one very good poster, but the amount of money they bring in for the work involved seemed unreasonably small to me.
So, my contribution is very simple. If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, are undergoing treatment, or have recently completed treatment your photo session is at no charge, includes an 8×10 print, and will have other printing discounts. No obligations at all, and no major caveats on what it doesn’t apply to. Portrait session of yourself, portraits of your family, boudoir so that you still feel sexy, or an image for a campaign for cancer awareness.
The offer is available indefinitely.
New Images from November Photo Shoots
November 30th, 2009November has been a busy month, although as some of it has been gearing up for a spring ad campaign it’s been partly self-inflicted.
Some of the interesting images from shoots that are in the editing phase right now:
Above: Portrait of a Soldier: Actually from a Thanksgiving portrait session, his expression just caught me.
Above: Taking Brazil by Storm: A chef setting out to make a name for himself and his pastry in Brazil.
Above: Almost time: Due today, shot last week. An absolutely wonderful mother and family.
There will be some more images added to the portfolio and also some new galleries from each of those shoots to wander through in the coming week.
