The Washington School of Photography is proud to have partnered with the Embassy of Haiti during their time of need.  On Friday, January 15th, staff from the Embassy contacted WSP seeking photographers for assignments both in Washington, DC and Haiti.  Washington School of Photography staff assured them that photographers would cover every event, documenting their efforts and those of the public, as they held vigils and church services, collected and sorted aid, and manned grief and emergency centers.

Join us Friday, April 9th from 6-9pm as we open the gallery show "Help and Hope for Haiti".
