Catholic Charities School Supply Donation Event at Hudson Heights
While bookings for my 'usual' types of photoshoots (portraits, restaurant food, large events, etc) have recently taken a downturn due to the pandemic, the shift has resulted in being called upon to cover different kinds of subjects, and in different ways. One of my more recent assignments was to document the amazing charity work being done by volunteers and staff at Catholic Charities NY, who, in partnership with were putting together and distributing back-to-school suppliesfor those in need around NYC.
