Wear, Care, Share Campaign 2017
i understand is a nonprofit based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that works to eliminate the stigma around mental health and suicide. I had the opportunity to create and direct a photoshoot in order to promote their “Wear, Care, Share” campaign. I had never done anything like this prior to this experience, but it was amazing to have an idea and watch it unfold into reality.

The final product was a brochure that featured the photoshoot I directed that was given to each attendee of i understand’s annual gala in 2017.
Here are a few of my favorite shots…
