Volunteer Work
2010 & 2011
Help Portrait (http://help-portrait.com/)
Help-Portrait is a global movement of photographers using their time, gear and experitse to give back to those in need.
This is about GIVING the pictures, not taking them. These portraits are not for your portfolio, website, or for sale. Money isn’t involved here. This holiday season, you have the chance to give a family something they may have never had before—a portrait together.
2010–present
First Exposures (SF Cameraworks)
First Exposures mentors work one-on-one (weekly) with their students, creating a safe and supportive environment in which students gain self-esteem as they express themselves through photography.
