The Front Steps Project by Life Is Now Photography
THE FRONT STEPS PROJECT - BY LIFE IS NOW PHOTOGRAPHY
Get a photo and give back to our community.
Let us capture your quarantine story for our Front Steps Project.
It’s a surreal time in the world isn’t it? We’re all socially distancing and in isolation in our homes. The majority of our income-producing photography and video work has come to a halt since COVID-19 has hit our shores and we miss it dearly, so this has inspired us to give back and document this time.
The Front Steps Project is a photographic project that allows me to capture families, friends, singles, housemates or pets with a 5-10 minute portrait session on your front steps, balcony, verandah or in the back of your ute or convertible (if you’re lucky!) in your driveway. Hold up a sign that says ‘We’re in this together’, get creative or show a painting your kids have created, get dressed up, get ready for your bike ride or simply show up how you are. Have fun and let’s capture the moment!
Your photo will be taken from a safe distance at least 3 metres away. You will receive 3 digital images that will be emailed to you. The cost is only $50 which you will donate to local charity https://baysidewomensshelter.org/ . The images will be shared on our website and social media and we ask that you share them on social media as part of the movement using the hashtags #thefrontstepsproject #thefrontstepsprojectbayside #thefrontstepsshire #thefrontstepsstgeorge #thefrontstepsprojectsydney #baysidewomensshelter and please tag us on Instagram @lifeisnowphotography and Facebook @lifeisnowau @baysidewomensshelter

Want to join me in making a difference? According to a report undertaken by Women's Safety NSW, more than 40 per cent of respondents reported that they've seen an increase in client numbers of domestic violence since the outbreak of COVID-19. I'm raising money to benefit Bayside Women’s Shelter. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
