I met Bobby Haws through The Compassion Fashion Project's talent coordinator, Cara Frazier,  Haws has been honing his interests in photography for the past five years and has had his work  featured in 53deluxe and Buzznet.  

Haws describes his photography aesthetic saying,"I love to bring out the colors in the world we live in. I like things to look real, but not actually be real. I am devoted to achieving the impossible in my images."


Bobby Haws Photography will be capturing our event, Divas Dressing Darlings, in an effort to help us bring more awareness to Little Dresses for Africa, The Compassion Fashion Project, and domestic violence in general.  Haws enjoys high fashion photography and artistic setups where he can take several composite shots and create a nice scene or artistic image.  He admits his photography process is very technical and once he introduced artificial lighting and shooting manually, details became more precise.

"Through my lens I’ve learned how to capture moments and translate them into art," says Haws.

Attention Stylists

His future goals make up his ideas for conceptual photo shoots he would like to implement, but says he has a hard time securing the right wardrobe and resources.  This has been his biggest challenge, so if you are a stylist wanting to work with a photographer contact Bobby Haws Photography:

Below find a mini interview with the photographer:

Q.  What does photography mean to you?

A.  Photography, to me, is a form of expression; it is the foundation to my art.  It's like the initial sketch for an artist to an unfinished work.  Photography gives me the sketch that I build on to create an image.

Q.  Do you consider yourself an artist?

A.  I have heard people say that there is not much art in photography and maybe that is true to a certain degree, but so much goes into my images after the initial camera snap.  It is a little hard for me not to call myself an artist.  I believe it takes an artist to be a photographer.

Q.  How would you describe your photography style?

A.  Style seems to be something that is always changing and evolving.  I tend to stick with vivid color and crisp, sharp contrast looks, but once something becomes routine I like to venture into something else to keep the creative variety flowing.  I have actually been experimenting with more low contrast images recently.

Q.  Does your personality change when you look through a camera?

A.  I don't think my personality changes, but the professionalism definitely surfaces in order to get the image that I am looking for.

Q.  What made you decide to shoot our event, Divas Dressing Darlings?

A.  I think the cause of The Compassion Fashion Project is a genuine one and I don't mind doing charity work for a good cause.  There needs to be more fashion events in Little Rock, so if I can help make something good out of this event, count on me.

This Week's Challenge: Team up With Kris Jenner & One Warm Coat Charity As Seen on "The View"

Team up with Kris Jenner from the E! hit show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and help support the "hottest" charity around, One Warm Coat. 

Kris Jenner has joined forces with Curél® Skincare to create an exclusive coat for the season in honor of One Warm Coat, a charity dedicated to keeping America warm. Drawing on the fashion savvy her family is famous for, Kris collaborated with the designers at Searle to create a custom coat that’s as warm and protective as it is stylish. Show your support by purchasing and wearing the Barrier coat at Searlenyc.com this winter season.

"Staying warm during the winter is a luxury too many of us take for granted," says Jenner. "When the Curél® Skincare team approached me about customizing the "Barrier" to benefit One Warm Coat, I jumped at the chance to help those in need this winter."

The Kardashian/Jenner family are no strangers to the fashion world.  Khloe, Kim, and Kourtney own the famous chain of women's clothing boutiques, DASH.

To view or buy this Limited Edition Barrier Coat designed by Kris Jenner visit this link to Searl NYC.  By purchasing and wearing this coat you will inspire others to support the mission of One Warm Coat.

   You can find the "hottest" charity around, One Warm Coat                  agency in your area by clicking here. 
A One Warm Coat drive is an easy and convenient way to help people in need in your community. Their goal is to provide any person in need with a warm coat, free of charge. This prestigous charity has been featured in Redbook magazine, Martha Stewart Living, and Family Circle just to name a few.  Friday, December 3, Kris Jenner talked about her coat design for One Warm Coat on "The View."

We at The Compassion Fashion Project reached out to One Warm Coat and Sherri Lewis Wood, President of the organization gave us this statement, "We are very pleased to have Kris, Curel and Searle involved in helping us let more people know how easy it is to donate a coat.  Sounds like a message you too have been sharing."

Thanks, Sherri.  We are doing our best!

We also reached out to our local coat drive provided by The 10/20 Project of Little Rock, AR and here is what Karin Bara, the coordinator for The 10/20 Project had to say:

 "What an awesome concept and great work you are doing.  We are enjoying our partnership with One Warm Coat. They are great to work with and provide a wonderful service."

The 10/20 Project encourages supporters to contribute a minimum of $10 and/or 20 minutes of service to meet individual needs.  Bara goes on to say:

"We work with single-parent non-profits, women in transition, and many women in local shelters. Your email has prompted me to make contact with domestic violence shelters in our area. I will contact them early next week, introduce Ron and myself, and let them know about the services we provide through The 10/20 Project. "

Follow this link to contact The 10/20 Project and make a donation.


The easiest way for us all to help is by donating coats, gloves, new hats, socks, and toiletries to our local agencies where they will distribute the coats to anyone in need, including our cause, local women's shelters.
