In April, Beckman and Grahame raised $4,000 (over P202,000) for God’s Love We Deliver through another print sale.

The initiative offered photographs by Beckman herself, Michel Leroy, Ian Wright, T. Eric Monroe, Michael Benabib as well as Henny Garfunkel, who is best known for her signed celebrity Polaroids.

In a similar effort, over 100 British photographers united in April for a ten-day sale of photographic prints in aid for the Trussell Trust.

All prints were available for purchase for £100 (around $122 over P6,100) and included works by the likes of Mark Borthwick, Jeremy Deller, Nadav Kandar, Martin Parr, Juergen Teller, Chris Rhodes, Agnes Lloyd Platt and Frank Lebon.

Alice Neale, Gareth McConnell, Jermaine Francis and Mel Bles also participated in the sale, which was inspired by the success of international photography print initiatives like “100 Fotografi per Bergamo” in Italy, and “Give World and Pictures for Elmhurst” in the United States. JB
