Philanthropic Photography

From the article:

Photographer Bill Piacesi has created Focus for the Good, a Binghampton-based nonprofit that uses photography to raise awareness and money to help the poor. 
Whereas many people are accustomed to ignoring the homeless, photographer Bill Piacesi devotes himself to taking a closer look.

Black-and-white portraits capturing the weary, forgotten faces of Memphis’ most disenfranchised individuals adorn his workspace inside The Commons, a multi-tenant nonprofit center at 258 N. Merton St. in the city’s Binghampton neighborhood.

Piacesi’s photographs – which are reminiscent of Dorothea Lange’s influential Depression-era portraits – aim to create a deep emotional connection between the subject and viewer, and raise awareness around issues of social justice.

80 Year Old Photography Business Takes A Look Back

From the article:

Flicking through a huge, ageing binder full of 1930s photos it was easy to see how hard-working photographer Edgar Tippleston had been.

It was 1931 when he first set up his photography firm and, 80 years later, his grandson Stuart is still running Tippleston Photography.

But the family still have the physical reminder of the firm’s first pictures, taken by Edgar, which include everything from family snaps to Cobblers match images of players and the crowd, visits by dignitaries, local plays – including one at the Royal, featuring Errol Flynn – and even pictures of the frozen river Nene during a particularly cold winter.
