Help portrait 2010 in Copenhagen

HELP-PORTRAIT IS A GLOBAL MOVEMENT OF PHOTOGRAPHERS USING THEIR TIME, GEAR AND EXPERTISE TO GIVE BACK TO THOSE IN NEED.

Yeah, you would think that someone could find a better way of saying it that I would - so I found someone who did - the international help portrait website.

Last year, the Celebrity Photographer Jeremy Cowart came up with this idea to offer his time and gear to those in need and who didn't have the means to pay a professional photographer for images of themselves or family. This concept spread to a bunch of countries within no time, and as far as I remember, 59 countries were engaged in this no-profit concept the 4. of december last year.

This year, we do it again. As last year, a whole bunch of photographers meet at Stilleben, the studio complex in a northern part of Copenhagen to shoot people for free all day.

I did this last year, but there were not that many people taking advantage of it, so I ended up shooting some of the other volunteers and my dad who was a sponsor that year.

Hopefully more will join this saturday, so spread to word or even better, come for yourself - if not for the photo, then just to say hi.

Oh yeah, and here's the danish site.
