In December of 2019, our first successful Help-Portrait event took place. A global movement of photographers, hairstylists, and makeup artists using their time, tools, and expertise to give back to those in need. Over 175 people attended in two days and we handed out more than 200 free prints! Reactions like “In years I haven’t felt as beautiful and appreciated as when you took my photo” felt incredibly rewarding. It was a beautiful thing to use our skillset for the ones in need and we strongly encourage other photographers and makeup artists to set up a Help-Portrait event in their own region. These are a few images of the people who permitted us to use their portrait for the promotion of Help-portrait.

Help-Portrait is a global movement of photographers, hairstylists, and makeup artists using their time, tools, and expertise to give back to those in need. Since 2009 they have been able to hand out more than 400,000 free portrait photos in more than 70 countries. For more information about Help-Portrait visit www.help-portrait.com
