Portraits from Cliff Lawson Photography Veterans Project.
Excerpt from 9News article: Veteran capturing stories of Colorado soldiers through portrait photography: You can learn a lot about someone by taking their photo. But some subjects open up easier than others. The people through Cliff Lawson’s viewfinder are combat veterans – and many aren’t quick to share their stories with outsiders. Lawson volunteers his time, equipment and skill to photograph other veterans. He realized this was something his community needed after attending the funerals of a couple of friends. “They were veterans and the photos they used on the stand, they were snapshots,” Lawson said. “We can do better than that. I’m a portrait photographer and I thought I could do that.” He’s got no major plans for this project; no art shows or photobooks in the works. He just wants to give veterans a professional photo that conveys the service they’ve given their country.
