We’re always humbled when asked to lend a hand to help tell a generous story. A few weeks ago, our friends at Banfield offered us the opportunity to capture some images of Soldiers Helping Soldiers to create a collection of photo assets to be added to the new up and coming SHS website.
The website will share the narrative of Canadian military soldiers who go out to various homeless shelters in Ottawa to lend a hand and offer resources to marginalized veterans. Pretty cool and very humbling!
Last weekend, we followed a handful of enlisted soldiers, dressed in uniform, who were visiting some of the shelters downtown and in the Byward Market. We took a journalistic approach, staying back and out of the way, while still capturing the authenticity of the interactions.
Thanks to the team from Soldiers Helping Soldiers and Banfield for making our experience so fulfilling!
