I did this last year and I had a wonderful time. I know a few of you from this forum also participated in your local Help-Portrait events and I hope more of you will decide to do it this year. Especially since we now have several new members.

Here's the video explaining what Help-Portrait is all about:

You don't have to sign up or even attend a big event. You can just do your own thing and find a person in need, that maybe you personally know, and take there picture. Give them a printed copy and that's it.

So how do you find people for this, Niko? I live in a smaller town now and while I know people who could use a portrait but couldn't afford one I'm worried that if I offer a free session they'll be embarrassed. Any tips?

Hi Niko,

Do you need or even want linkage to a national organization?

My best,

Mike

JA - Maybe speak with a homeless shelter or women's shelter to find some families or high school seniors?

Did you guys do this today? I did here in philadelphia. We had three locations setup around the city. The one I was at was in a industrial area and only had a few families come through but, it was worth it to see the smiles when they saw how good they looked in a "real" camera as they called it.
The other locations did really well and was able to help alot of people.the local news even came out and told us to let them know ahead of time next year for free advertising.
