The faculty, staff and students of the professional photography program at Colorado Mountain College will be at the First United Methodist Church in Glenwood Springs on Wednesday, Nov. 30, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. to provide free portraits as part of the international Help-Portrait movement.
Help-Portrait is a global movement of photographers using their time, tools and expertise to give back to their communities. Multiple portrait studios will be set up at the church, and portraits will be printed and delivered that night. Digital files of portraits will also be available for those who bring a portable USB flash drive to the event. This is a charity event and there is absolutely no cost for the portraits.
This is the seventh year the college’s professional photography program has participated in Help-Portrait, bringing hundreds of free portraits to the communities of the Roaring Fork Valley. Translators will be on site to assist Spanish speakers with portrait sessions. For more information on Help-Portrait go to: http://help-portrait.com. Families, individuals and groups – and pets! – are welcome.
