I need this camera because I want to help others have a better financial future.

Sounds too generic? Kindly allow me to explain.

For some time now, I have been thinking of helping a friend who has a startup, locally sourced fabric company. I got interested in helping this friend for by helping their startup company, I'm also helping others. Why? You see, their fabrics are made by locals - people who live in the far side of our country, the Philippines. People who are natives to this country and who live in the some of the poorest regions of this nation. Most of these people have no jobs, lives below minimum wage and have a hard time making it to 3 meals a day.

How exactly will me, being a photographer, help them live a better life?

Marketing!

At the moment, the marketing strategy in my opinion needs a lot of improvement. Firstly, the images they post on social media networks like Instagram, for me, doesn't really catch attention let alone catch the heart of how these natives work.

But being a startup, they don't have budget for a good photographer to be on their team.

By being the man for the job, I'd like to capture better pictures of their products, better image setting and most importantly, capture scenes of how the natives makes the products they sell. These products are gradually making it to the international market. By improving their marketing strategy, I feel that it will also improve the lives of these local fabric makers as well as their families.
