15% Of All Fine Art Sales Go To Charity
As an avid traveller, and a person who is passionate about sustainability, I believe it’s everyone’s responsibility to give back and support the local communities that we visit and experience. During checkout, you will have the ability to choose one of the following charities you’d like a portion of your purchase to be donated to. I’ve chosen these charities based on several factors, including their transparency with where donated funds go, and how much of a positive impact they have been able to make with donated funds they’ve received in the past. If you’d prefer to not choose one of these charities to donate to, I will choose for you.
In addition to this, I also accept requests for charitable donations in the form of fine art – to be sold or auctioned at charitable events, or in the form of my presence as a photographer to help capture images at a charitable event. To learn more about options for charitable donations, as well as how to request this, please see the details below.

Donations & Requests
In addition to donating a portion of every fine art sale, I also give back in other ways. From time to time, I donate fine art pieces or offer my presence as a photographer to support causes I believe in. If your organization is hosting a fundraiser, raffle, or event and would like to request a donation, I’d love to hear from you.
What’s currently possible:
-
Fine art print donations for raffles or auctions that support charitable causes
-
Presence as a photographer to help document and support charitable events
How to request:
Fill out the short form below with details about your event, your organization, and what kind of donation you’re requesting. I review all requests personally and do my best to support as many as I can.
My primary goal as a Travel Photographer is to help make the world more accessible to everyone- to help inspire cultural enrichment, and to create art that cultivates deep conversations.
What does that mean, in relation to charity? It means that as I continue to grow, I want the world around me to grow as well. The places I capture, the people whose lives I touch- I cannot succeed without my community of supporters. My business initiatives will fail without support from the people who truly believe in my mission, engage with my content, and are inspired by the stories that I share. I have big dreams, and I really cannot do this alone.
I think it would therefore be morally wrong for me to rely on all of you so much in order to succeed, if I too wasn’t willing to give back to you. It’s just how I believe a business should run. What is success if I cannot find the time or resources to also share my time, my creations, and my expertise with those of you who also need someone to believe in them, and to help support their success.
I’m obviously just one person, and I will definitely not be able to say yes to everyone, but I give you my word that if I have it within my capacity to do so, and fulfilling your request will be in alignment with my goals- then I will do my best to fulfill your request, or at least try to find another way to help support you if I can.
Looking to hearing from you-
Scott
