The fact of the matter is that we take clean water for granted.

Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. That shouldn't be the case in a globalized world with simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters (shoutout sifat).

This will be my third year raising money during the September Campaign. This year I will make portraits asking that you donate a minimum of $20 to this campaign. The photoshoot can be as creative or serious as you want, and isn't limited to portraits. Think outside the box.

I'm thinking 20 minutes of shooting and 15 minutes of editing, which is flexible. I only ask that we have fun with it and share the wealth.

I've been quite inspired by charity: water's photographers (cough, Jeremy Snell) over the years and at this point in my life, it feels right to raise money this way.

And get stoked knowing that 100% of the money you donate goes to the field to build clean water projects. When they’re complete, charity: water will send you photos and GPS coordinates so you can see the exact community you helped.
