Mission Statement

Our mission is to help photographers find important meaningful work at the same time that we provide a voice to organizations that are already doing this amazing work. We want to boost both the sense of self-worth within the photographic society, and the reach of organizations that are on the front-line of human affairs and social development. We believe a healthy and honest relationship between photographers and NGOS can bring benefits not only to themselves but also to the greater community.

Description

WHAT IS FAIRSHOTS?

Simply put Fairshots is a platform that connects photographers and non-profit organizations. It makes it easy for organizations to browse and connect to photographer that are looking for world changing work, both globally and locally.


OUR VISION

Our vision is that in order to create significant systematic change on this planet, individuals have to take responsibility and be the actors of that change. We can no longer sit passively waiting for our leader or representatives to do as we want, we must take control of our lives by using the best of our skills and directing it towards the things we believe in. Fairshots is about giving that power to the photographic community of the world.

WHY PHOTOGRAPHY

We believe photography is a very powerful art form, and it has the power to change deeply encrusted paradigms and beliefs in society as a whole. Yet many times when you choose to work with photography we end up having to work with things that are not so inline with our most important values just to be able to survive. In fact plenty of times the type of work done by professional photographers might even be propagating the stereotypes that go against those same values. We understand the value of photography and we want to shift it towards more socially responsible themes.
