About Help Portrait
Help-Portrait was founded by celebrity photographer Jeremy Cowart in 2008 with a mission to empower photographers, hairstylists and makeup artists to use their skills, tools and expertise to give back to their local community.
Each December, professionals all around the world will find people in need, take their picture, print their picture and then deliver it—free of charge.
Help-Portrait is about GIVING the pictures, not taking them. These portraits aren't for a portfolio, website, or sale. It's about giving people who otherwise couldn't afford photography, a chance to capture a moment, a memory…and a whole lot more.
