è bello che ogni tanto ci sia qualcuno che non pensa solo ai soldi, e sfutta le sue capacità per aiutare gli altri. Help Portrait è una di queste iniziative, da un idea del fotografo Jeremy Cowart, unprogetto a livello mondiale, la cui mission è la seguente: trovare qualcuno bisognoso, fargli un ritratto, stamaparlo e regalarglielo, il tutto ovviamente senza fini di lucro, per dargli l’opportunità di vedersi in una bel ritratto.
e siccome non riesco a spiegare con parole mie tutto quello che sta dietro vi lascio il video dell’evento, e riporto il progetto, che rende di piu di quello che posso dirvi io! ::)
