As some of you may know, last year I was a founding contributor to By And For, a BIPOC run organization of photographers who donate their skills to other BIPOC businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area. After over a decade of shooting weddings, I have been excited for the opportunity to use my photography in a different way.
As we embark on our second year together, By And For has added three more contributors which means we’ll be able to help more businesses this year! If you or someone you know is a local BIPOC owned small business in need of a brand refresh, then fill out our application today. You’ll be entered to win an editorial photography package that includes 15 photos for free. (Applications for our Spring 2022 offering close on April 23.)
To give you an idea of what our offerings look like, here are some of the businesses I worked with last year. And don’t forget to follow us on Instagram (@byandfor_bipoc) for more up-to-date events and announcements!
