Jeremy –

Thank you!!

Great Idea ! Giving benefits both parties.
I don’t like the logo. Sorry. the hand looks like a policeman’s command to STOP.
How about the hand offered palm up, with the camera, in the gesture of giving.
Just my 2cents worth.

I’m very happy to share that I completed a self-assignment photographing elderly people at a local retirement home.

A friend works at a local “soup kitchen” and for several years they have been helping clients to make up and send Christmas cards to relatives. a few years ago someone came up with the great idea of giving the option of including a photograph, initially they used Polaroids but they thought they could do better and my friend reached out to some photographers she knows so for the past three years I’ve been doing exactly what help-portrait is proposing, myself and another photographer take a camera and a 4×6 photo printer to the church where the program is hosted take pictures of willing clients while another team helps them put together Christmas cards and prints are included in the cards, or if they prefer the clients get to keep the cards. It’s been a great experience and a real eye opener.

Jeremy has the right idea when he says that they don’t want to see the photos, and that this is about giving rather than taking photos. I went into this process with an understanding that these photos were ALL private, virtually every client we shot sought assurances that that would be the case. So Jeremy please be explicit, make it a mandatory part of participation in the program that the photographers will cede their copyrights to the subjects and not use the photos for anything else, period, full stop.

Thanks
