Coming up

One calendar for Voices for Sickle Cell and every local chapter. Listening sessions, workshops, walks, health fairs, and more.

A listening session in a community room: about thirty people seated in a semicircle, one woman standing and speaking from her seat, the others turned toward her. Shot from the side of the room. Bright, clean lifestyle photograph, soft natural daylight, light and uncluttered background with plenty of open space, genuine smiles and movement, candid and unposed, true-to-life skin tones, one small pop of red in wardrobe or props, shallow depth of field. No text, no logos, no watermarks, no hospital branding.

Artlist prompt

A school gymnasium set up for a community health fair before doors open, rows of tables with plain cloths, volunteers arranging chairs, wide shot with warm light from high windows. Runs full width under a red overlay, so keep it simple and not busy. Bright, clean lifestyle photograph, soft natural daylight, light and uncluttered background with plenty of open space, genuine smiles and movement, candid and unposed, true-to-life skin tones, one small pop of red in wardrobe or props, shallow depth of field. No text, no logos, no watermarks, no hospital branding.
