Exciting News!

Over the holidays, a billboard campaign intended to raise awareness of domestic violence was launched in the Portland area, featuring Philip Burnett’s photography and design work. We are overjoyed to see this image publicized, as its concern should be one of extreme importance to our community and others. As a professional photographer, Phil often donates his time, effort, and artwork to supporting children’s issues. He is thrilled that this campaign is getting started and is also happy to see this particular photograph displayed. Phil describes the process of creating this image (of a young girl’s teary eye witnessing an act of domestic violence) as complicated and requiring many steps. The final photograph is a culmination of several photo shoots with different models (both children and adults) and various experimentations. While there were minor post-production enhancements, Phil stresses the intricacy of placing the violent image within the child’s eye using only models, props, and his camera. The display of this image and its principle give us great reason to celebrate.
This is going to be a great year for Philip Burnett Photography.
A special thanks to Bradley-Angle House, Raphael House, and the Rotary Club of Portland for teaming with Philip Burnett Photography to break the silence!
