Loading...
Uploaded by TEDxTalks on May 13, 2011
Celebrity photographer Jeremy Cowart tells the story of Help-Portrait and the unexpected impact it had on both sides of the camera. Illustrating how it began as a simple idea that spread to a global movement in just a few months, Jeremy reminds us all that giving within your gifting can change the world.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is the first time I've seen this video of this, but not the first time I've heard about The H.E..L.P. Project. I found it from a comment somone had a left on a random photography website that I'd "Liked" on Facebook. The page I'd liked on Fb wasn't one I visited often, but did so that day & read an article that included a letter from a client to a photographer describibng what she did with her money instead of paying $500 for family portraits, only later to find out she had cancer.

@Budguy68 is this assuming that all celebs and big shots are bleeding hearts? They're not. Jeremy's thing wasn't about profiting or marketing himself. It was about just trying to motivate people to do what they could, when they could, for other folks who just couldn't.
BTW, have you ever been to Africa?
-
He's a great shooter but what Hollywood celebrity or big shoot isn't some Bleeding Heart Liberal who cries for Africa or whatever?

I love Jeremy's photography work, but THIS is why he will always be one of my ultimate, all-time, favorite photography figures.
