Help-Portrait Port Stephens
How do you give back to those in need?
This is my way of giving back, and with the help of the Rotary club of Salamander Bay it was a huge success.
What is Help-Portrait?
Help-Portrait is a world-wide collection of photographers & volunteers using their time, equipment, and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate. What does that look like? It looks like photographers taking pictures, printing them, giving them, but more importantly, giving hope. I asked some local photographers, and other business owners to give their time and resources back to the community, and they did. Thanks.
Giving a Picture – not taking a picture
Think of it as giving a picture, not just taking a picture. We are very proud to have contributed to the following statistics for help-portrait worldwide this year.
- 56 countries
- 67,927 portraits given
- 4,984 photographers
- 8,793 volunteers
Thanks to all those volunteers who helped to make this day such a success:
Rotary Club of Salamander Bay played a huge roll in organising and running this even. Thanks to all of you that volunteered your day and your expertise to give back to those needy people in our community.
Handing over some of the prints we had made for the families, what a great feeling!
This is going to be an annual event on my calendar, why don’t you get inolved in your community too? Check out the help-portrait website and find an event in your area.
Would love some comments below. Have a great day! Brent

Good on ya mate…Just signed up for my area which looking at it is Brisbane.
Great idea. It's International Brain Tumour Awareness Week this week (28 October – 3 November). You've inspired me to think on how I can contribute via my photography.
Cheers
Just wanted to again say a BIG THANKYOU! With my husband in and out of work over the last 2.5years and having go though our son’s Autism diagnosis on top of trying to pay our mortgage and everything else that comes with having 4 children, life has been very stress ful but the photos are great and the people who looked after us that day, words can’t describe how beautiful they are nor how grateful we are to them!!! So THANKYOU!!!!
If you do it again – I’d be happy to volunteer and help out doing whatever.
