Bucharest Help-Portrait

CE ESTE HELP PORTRAIT?

Help-Portrait este o schimbare a modului in care privim fotografia. Este un proiect ce se bazeaza pe daruire. Ca si fotografi avem ocazia  de a oferi o amintire, un cadru din cele 24 ce se deruleaza intr-o secunda din filmul vietii, macar o singura zi pe an. Luna decembrie in sine este o luna in care oferim mai mult, iar la nivel fotografic, gestul de a darui, s-a transformat intr-un proiect global lansat de fotograful american Jeremy Cowart. Este un proiect ce se desfasoara in 3 etape simple: realizarea fotografiilor, imprimarea si daruirea lor. Aveti aici o scurta prezentare a proiectului in romana.

I spent the summer of 1993 working in rural Romania. It was one of the best summers of my life — cheap red wine, fantastic people and repeated sampling of all three (at the time) national dishes! – David Hobby
