Recently I had the pleasure of working with United Effort for the Poor (UnEP) founder Junot Cochilus. UnEP is in the starting phases of the organization but already has great support in the Charlotte community. UnEP asked me to photograph and design fund raising materials for their upcoming Haiti campaign giving me the chance to spend a few hours with a good friend. Here are the results of our session.

These were taken inside the studio with one flash shooting through a white umbrella. We were looking for a moody cover shot for a fund raising pamphlet that told the hardship of his years growing up in Haiti.

Juno has this infectious smile that lights up a room. When you talk with him and he shares his vision for UnEP in Haiti and other countries, there is no doubt UnEP has the foundation to inspire good.
