Covid 19 has impacted many lives and many businesses, and one of the hardest hit is the television and movie industry. In order to offset those losses, cinematographers have organized a special sale, Still Standing, to benefit the International Cinematographers Guild Hardship Fund. Hundreds of photographs were submitted and I had the great pleasure, along with Kim Gottlieb-Walker and Lisa Guerriero to curate the sale.

Still Standing, a unique photo sale representing the diverse personal work and artistry of 80 still photographers employed in the motion picture/television/streaming world. All proceeds from sales of the photographs will benefit the International Cinematographers Guild Hardship Fund. That endowment provides emergency financial assistance to members of the ICG who, like many workers the world over, are facing unprecedented hard times during this ongoing global pandemic.

Still Standing will include over 200 selections from the personal galleries of these artists, focusing on fine art, music, street, abstract, portraits, still life, and other images that represent their talents behind the lens. Each photographer’s work will be accompanied by a brief bio of their career along with their personal website address.

The Print Studio at Film Solutions in Los Angeles has partnered with ICG to oversee printing of every photograph purchased from the exhibit. Aside from their work in the entertainment field, many of these photographers regularly collaborate with this prominent lab to ensure their images are perfectly processed prior to their use in global consumer and social media campaigns.

An open edition limited specifically for this September, 2020, benefit event, each print (9X12 format) will arrive with a Certificate of Authenticity.
