HELP-PORTRAIT SITES 2012....
Specific Help-Portrait Event for Hurricane Sandy families who were affected.....
MEETING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12th, 2012
289 Grand Street (Btwn. Roebling & Havemeyer Street)
Brooklyn, NY 11211 (Williamsburg)
Time: 6pm
Sorry I have been off radar....I finally got power back myself and am back online....
In a nutshell, I have created a Facebook group page for us to communicate better as many people on this forum have been inactive for years...
Please follow the link and add yourself to the group. I will then agree to have you on the group. Very easy.
Group Name: Sandy Relief Help-Portrait NYC (Free Family Portraits)
https://www.facebook.com/groups/498860610153588/
Simply:
I am looking to focus this year on the areas most affected by Hurricane Sandy in NYC. Sites I am organizing in are Rockaways, Breezy Point, Staten Island and Coney Island....
We have a fast turnaround time here folks this is what we need:
This is a group for Photographers, Make up artist and anyone who wants to participate in volunteering for this years Help-Portrait NYC 2012 (Free Family Portraits) specifically for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Many of them have lost everything including family photos. The goal is to create a loving space where we can offer free family portraits as a gesture of levity and joy during this time.
What we need:
-Lead Photographers to connect with a community based organization to host the event and be the primary liaison.
-Photographers with full lighting set up
-People who can edit and print the images for the families
-Make up artist and/or Hair dressers
-General volunteers to greet, sign in families, share a smile and overall assistance.
-Donations for the paper and ink
From now on all communications will go through the facebook group: Sandy Relief Help-Portrait NYC (Free Family Portraits)
My email is will@willsalomon.com for any questions or by phone at 347.683.7466
Peace and blessings,

Hey anyone stopping by, I'm organizing Help Portrait session on 12/8 for the Brooklyn YWCA. We'll be photographing women who live at the YWCA and would otherwise be homeless. This is a special group of women who have likely not had the opportunity to see themselves captured in a portrait. The YWCA is super excited that we're bringing this to them this year.
We'll need all kinds of assistance, so if you're looking to join a Help Project team as a photographer, assistant, makeup or hair artist, helper, etc. Please contact me via this site.
Looking forward to and appreciate your help!
Nicole

Comment by Steve Sanchez on September 23, 2012 at 10:49am For anyone stopping by this board before we get in gear in the fall, this year's Help Portrait is on Saturday, December 8.
The organization also just put out a call asking everyone to donate $5 to keep it operational: https://help-portrait.donortools.com/my/funds/14403--Help-Portrait-...
Comment by Project Renewal on August 20, 2012 at 3:00pm Not sure how to find an "organizer" for a location (Not sure I can pull it off on my own, though I know photographers and make-up artists who would get involved) but I am the Dir of Comm for one of NYC's largest organizations helping the homeless. We have several shelters and long-term housing for those who were homeless and live with mentall illness. I know our clients could benefit from this in a big way if someone is looking for a site to organize around.
Hey guys! There's no real organizer of this in New York. A few people in the area choose locations and then do a call for volunteers. It all comes together a couple of months ahead of the official December date, which gets announced later in the year.
I know I'll be planning to organize a group for a women's shelter in Brooklyn, and will probably start putting it into action in September. I'm going to need several photographers who have gear (lighting), and several people who have computers and printers, among many other things. So if you're interested, feel free to get in touch with me in September and I'll be happy to put you to work!
