Autism Society: Portrait Photography
Role: On-site art direction, pre and post-production planning, scheduling, direction, and vendor communication.
Organizational Goals: Grow the organization’s photography assets and collect videography content.
Photoshoot Goals: Capture the diverse needs, emotions, and experiences of the Autism community, particularly focused on individuals with increased supports, including individuals who are non-speaking, use AAC, and have 24/7 direct care. The goal was to illustrate the wide range of diversity across the Autism spectrum and to celebrate the unique qualities of Autistic individuals as they express their authentic selves.
Photoshoot Details: The on-site team included two photographers, two videographers, the studio team, volunteers from the San Diego affiliate, and members from the national team to create a safe, sensory-friendly space to support Autistic individuals and their families. Leading up to the shoot, national team members engaged with participants to ensure that they felt comfortable and supported throughout the entire experience. Participants were encouraged to bring day-of supports, including caregivers, family, friends, AAC devices, headphones, service animals, sensory toys, and more. This allowed the team to craft a photoshoot experience that centered on safety, approachability, and authenticity.
