Help-Portrait sessions

Well, we did it.

I organised 2 shoots, the first on the 12th December 2009 (International Help-Portrait day) at St. Davids Community Church, Farringdon, Sunderland, and the second shoot a week later for a project run by WWIN (Wearside Women In Need) - for obvious reasons no further details will be made public about this shoot.

Thanks go to photographers Tom Young, Alan Butler and Maureen Maclaren for helping take the portraits, and to the Beauty Therapy students of City of Sunderland College for doing the hair and make-up. Much appreciated.

Here's a portrait from the first session.

It was touch and go whether I would get this thing going with less than 2 weeks to do it in, but we pulled it off!

Everyone else who I spoke to or emailed in the organisation stages, thanks for your help.
