'I am using my street style photography as a platform to give to a charitable foundation and create ongoing and tangible social impact.'
. Founded in 2018 by writer and lecturer Rachel Cargle, Loveland provides a therapy fund for Black women and girls across America, as well as opportunities for advancement through fellowships, residency programs and listening tours.
We caught up with Fenster, who has also been documenting BLM protests, to find out more about why she’s selling her photos, and what she’s learned by following the momentum of Black Lives Matter.What inspired you to sell these portraits and donate the proceeds to the Loveland Foundation? The Loveland Foundation was the perfect tie-in to this initiative because I wanted to give a platform for people’s self expression and that is exactly what this foundation stands for. They provide a safe place for Black women and girls to receive support of their mental health through therapy sessions.
Through the Black Lives Matter Street Style Portrait Series, I also plan to add more photographs to the series, both old and new. I am fostering relationships with Black women and men that I admire to further include in this very powerful collection and have them submit handwritten declarations so that I can continue to take a stand for their self-expression.
