Changing worlds with photography.

Alma de Colores, Guatemala - Colin Field

My name is Colin Field and I am a photographer and writer specializing in outdoor adventure. I've done some amazing things for my work, but it's time I gave back. I'm working with Photographers Without Borders to do just that; use my skills to help others. I'll be heading to Guatemala in November to work with the people at the NGO Alma de Colores (Soul of Colours), but I need YOUR help to make it happen. My images will help the organization tell their story, receive more funding, and in turn, help more people. Win, win, win. 

Alma de Coloresis a labor and social inclusion program for people with disabilities in the Lake Atitlan region, Guatemala. Located in San Juan la Laguna, the workshop has over 24 participants between 16 and 44 years old who work in five main areas: handicraft production, sewing, baking, organic gardening as well as cooking and running a small restaurant, Café Correcto.

Every year, photographers and videographers donate hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of their time to Photographers Without Borders documenting the work of grassroots initiatives that are making real change in this world. By capturing, honouring and witnessing humanity at its best, PWB creates new narratives of what is possible. 

Each of our official photographers/videographers is assigned a GroupRev fundraising page by PWB upon acceptance.
