DALLAS, Dec. 1, 2010 /Christian Newswire/ -- Help-Portrait is a non-profit community of photographers who unite in cities across the world on December 4th to use photography to give back to communities.

The idea behind the Help-Portrait event is simple: 1. Invite members of the community who do not have access to professional photography (past subjects have included the homeless, single-parent families and wounded vets) to have their portrait taken. For free. 2. Portraits are taken by professional photographers who volunteer their time 3. Portraits are printed on location and 4. Gifted to the subject at no cost.

The Dallas Event-
Date: Saturday December 4, 2010
Time- 8am-4pm
Location: Cornerstone Baptist Church (1819 Martin L. King Junior Blvd, Dallas, TX)
Website: www.help-portrait.com

Last December, in its inaugural year, more than 41,000 portraits were given away by 3,400 photographers with the assistance of more than 5,000 volunteers. Help-Portrait events were held in 543 locations in more than 42 countries.

"Help Portrait in 2009, and its global effect, far exceeded my expectations. For that matter, it exceeded my dreams," shares Help-Portrait founder Jeremy Cowart. "Seeing so many photographers come together and give their time and skill has changed me. I can't help but wonder about the massive impact that is possible on 4 December 2010."
