Art For Assistants

No photographer is an island. While I may be the keeper of the vision, my grips, my gaffers, my stylists, my art directors, my producers, my PA’s, all my assistants, they are the ones creating that vision. Actually it’s worse than that. If I am Oz, I am only Great because of their collective wizardry behind the curtain. They are my saviors, my co-conspirators, my sounding boards, my Fifth Beatles if you will - the ones who get no credit for my successes, but deserve much of it. That is why, in this time of zero production, I joined “Art for Assistants,” a GoFundMe campaign to turn paper and ink into financial support for photography assistants.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of these 4 images (with an exception of the 3% that goes to GoFundMe) go to my extraordinary assistants who no longer have the opportunity to work due to Covid-19.

What a wonderful gift it is to give back to those who give so much to us. And a big bow and hat off to Tim Tadder, who started this whole thing going.
