“Help Portrait” Free Professional Portrait Day | SF & Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Help-Portrait is an annual global event during which photographers, videographers, makeup artists and other professionals worldwide work with nonprofits and community organizations to photograph individuals and families who wouldn’t normally have access to professional family photos and print them out so they have something to show their friends and families.

Do you need a free portrait? Here’s a test… if can afford an iPhone, this event probably isn’t for you. The free portraits are meant for those living under the poverty line who are truly in need so that during Christmas time they can get a professional family portrait done free and clear.
