'Headshots for Haiti' Raises Money for Earthquake Relief

Backstage: "When photographer Jordana Zeldin saw the reports of destruction and death in Haiti following the devastating earthquake there last month, she knew she wanted to help the people of Haiti – but didn't know how."

I think that this is a great idea. For everyone that does want to help, but can't do a whole lot on their own, this just goes to show that everyone can get involved in some way. By starting this fundraiser, Jordana Zeldin has created something that will help immensely in the efforts to aid Haiti. And making the commitment just a month long, the photographers aren't giving up all that much, but are still contributing in a great way. For actors, this is also an opportunity to help. When getting headshots that they would normally get anyway, they have the chance to choose to go to a photographer that will donate some of there profits.

I agree with Tiffany, this is a great opportunity for all involved. Actors needing new headshots can choose a photographer who will donate part of their profits to Haiti. The cooperation of a usually competitive individuals is also great to see. Ultimately, they are giving up part of their profit to help those in need which will really help those in need. I hope that Jordana Zeldin is able to reach her goal by the end of February.

This was a wonderful idea. I think that it's really important for people to remember that there are others in the world who are not as fortunate as us. I agree with Katherine that it's great that actors and models can choose a photographer that will give a portion of the proceeds to Haiti. I also think that it's great that this photographer is actually willing to give so much of her proceeds to helping Haiti because this is a truly important cause.
