Though Charlie and I come from very different backgrounds, we have so much in common and
we both care about the people we serve. To show his smile, heart, and excitement, we talked
about the things that make him happy, his love for people, and his parents’ pride in him. - by
Pamela Phillips

***

Pam serves displaced youth and supports their mental health. She is compassionate, strong
and selfless. She smiles for the benefit of others. I think in the latter part of the shoot where she
started moving around on her own were some of the best shots that showed this smile. We
bonded over both having specific events in our lives that were pivotal in our chosen paths of
serving others. - by Charlie Watkins

Nadiyah by Bill
She is creative and determined to be productive. She has worked around different communities and groups of people. Acting is her passion. She has a sharp cultural awareness. I captured the freedom in her expression, her sense of humor and her pleasant personality. - by Bill McClain

Bill by Nadiyah
Mr. McClain has spent his life serving youth in the community. He builds strong enduring relationships across what others might see as boundaries. The time spent photographing Mr. McClain was joyful and an unexpected delight on an otherwise ordinary day. I angled the camera from the ground to symbolize his stature in the community, and had him extend his hand out as a gesture of humanity, support and encouragement. - by Nadiyah D Quander
