Help Portrait: Snapshots of Hope

Help Portrait brings together photographers from around the world to use their art and talent in the service of others.  Participating photographers are asked to grab their cameras, find people in need, and show them how beautiful they are.  The portraits are not for sale but rather a photographer's opportunity to give back to the community.

Help-Portrait recruits volunteer makeup artists also.  Pros, amateurs, and hobbyists are welcome.  Those interested can visit the organization's community page.  If there isn't an event near you, you can see who's local be connecting with their facebook page.

An organizer in Toledo, Ohio welcomed people from a homeless shelter for a Help-Portait photo shoot.
