“There’s so much that we can do to help and if this is all that it takes for me to help a little bit it’s easy to do and I’m happy to do it. We’re all happy to do it,” he said.

The initiative is part of Help-Portrait, a worldwide movement aimed at providing professional photographs to people who aren’t able to afford them.

Photographers were also at the Indigenous Family Centre on Saturday providing free portraits.
