The concept of Help-Portrait is fairly simple: find someone who is distressed or in need of some positivity in their life, photograph a portrait of that person, have it printed and deliver it to them. By doing this, Jeremy Cowart, the movement’s founder, feels that one can effectively help to restore a sense of pride and self-worth in somebody who has found themselves in a bad place. It may not be a meal, or a shelter or a pair of cloths, but Jeremy feels that a sense of pride is something that can often be even more valuable.
