As you may have heard, Gucci, Raising Malawi, and UNICEF held a fundraiser last night to benefit impoverished children in Africa.
The event featured photographs by our longtime client and friend, Kristen Ashburn. Kristen’s images are simply arresting, and have inspired us to step up Big Swing’s involvement in charitable works.
Kristen Ashburn and Big Swing worked together to create an image for the event.
Big Swing prepared documentary photographer Kristen Ashburn’s images for publication in the most recent issue of Vanity Fair. Africa, a special issue guest-edited by Bono, is on newsstands now.
Kristen’s photography is at once powerful, jarring, subtle, and beautiful. It’s a true privilege for us to work with a photographer creating such important images. Below are a few examples of Kristen’s work, and you can see more of her photographs at her website.
