Sharp Dressed Man is a charity that helps men reintegrate themselves back into the work place. Many men in this country have had circumstances that create setback and difficulty finding work, some men do not have easy access to interview clothing, the tool that helps level the playing field for those competing for employment.
Photographer Damion Olds executed this vision of renewal. Water is our source of renewal...replenishment...refreshment. When we put on clothing that feels good it can help to renew our spirit and give us hope. I hope that these images will be seen in an upcoming project in order to share the message of renewal and recycling...in our country alone we waste so much...knowing that our generosity can replenish and renew the lives of others is why Sharp Dressed Man is of importance in our community.
I have been honored to dress many of the clients that come through the doors of Sharp Dressed Man ...and creating a visual tribute to those that work hard to keep this project alive is my way of showing how your generosity works ....and also I hope that the images become a reminder of the importance of replenishing the lives of others without expectation refreshes our own spirit.
Thanks to the professional models that braved this effort in the early morning on an overcast day.... thank you to my loyal team this could not have happened without you.
