Images without Borders

January 30, 2010

By now we have all seen the pictures, we’ve all heard the stories, both extraordinary and heartbreaking, coming out of the earthquake in Haiti on January 12th. Through my own heartache for the plight of the several thousands affected and my own desire to help those who are putting their own lives aside to help strangers in need, I have the honor of joining many amazing photographers in a project called Images without Borders. All the proceeds, minus a small printing fee, for select, limited edition fine art prints will got to Doctors without Borders. Here’s more from the website:

This project emerged because of the crisis in Haiti, but has taken on a larger life. Because of our affiliation with Doctors without Borders, we plan to continue our support as future crises emerge and daily work continues for those who suffer around the world. Buyers receive a stunning art print from a premier world photographer and their contribution goes directly to the places that need it most. Each print is offered from Images without Borders at a limit of ten before being pulled from the collection and returned to the artist. This long-term project aids Doctors without Borders in their efforts on the ground in Haiti and the world.

Below are a selection of photographs I have contributed, that you may purchase right now through the Images without Borders website. I have also contributed several iphoneography photos from my recent Project 365, also shown below. Take a few minutes to check out the IWOB website and view the many AMAZING photographs that have been donated. Remember, though, these are limited edition prints, so you better hurry!!

Race for the Cure 2009

October 17, 2009

This year I had the distinguished honor of being one of the official photographers for the Komen Charlotte Race for the Cure in Charlotte, NC. Each photographer was assigned to a certain area and mine were the actual race and the survivor ceremony. This event was especially important to me because it’s the first race since my own mother’s breast cancer diagnosis. She was able to attend and even walked the race with me! The Komen Charlotte race had over 14,000 participants and raised over $1.3M. It was quite an event to be a part of. Here are some of my favorite shots from the day, including one of me and my mom!

If you’re new to Lori Jackson Photography, something you may not know is that my mom is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She has been battling stage 3 breast cancer since January and is kicking its butt! Breast cancer runs in my family (it’s in the genes - literally) so finding a cure is a cause that I am quite passionate about. So when I saw the link to http://www.imagesforacure.com, I jumped at the chance to participate in helping to fund the cure.

So here’s the deal, I am offering a limited number of mini portrait sessions on October 10th AND 11th with 100% of the proceeds going to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®. Mini sessions can be of families, children, babies, bellies, couples… These mini sessions will last 45min and will cost $75 each.

Movement | ClotheCharlotte

November 22, 2008

This season brings many people a lot of joy, but for some it only brings struggle and uncertainty. I have chosen to be a part of a movement in Charlotte, a movement to clothe the 5,000 homeless men, women, and children in our city and to photograph that effort. Take a look at this video.. Joe really says it all.


Clothe Charlotte ‘08 from Kinetic Church on Vimeo.

Will you join us in providing warmth? Providing some stability to the uncertainty? We are collecting winter clothing kits for the homeless of Charlotte and will hand them out on December 20th. Each kit needs to contain a warm coat, hat, and gloves. Mark the size and man/woman/youth on the outside of the bag.  Either send kits to ClotheCharlotte, 545-C Pitts School Road, Concord, NC 28027 or bring them to the benefit concert on December 13th, 4pm at Freedom Park in Charlotte.  Find out more here.
