EPHAS Lets Overlooked Individuals Tell Their Story

Founded in 2010 by Ryan Ansin, EPHAS (Every Person Has A Story) is a Boston-based non-profit that gives voice to people who are not heard and exposure to places that are not seen. The organization gives underserved and overlooked individuals the opportunity to tell their stories through the powerful medium of photography. With workshops in more than 20 locations worldwide, EPHAS teaches photography to people in developing countries, letting them self-document their lives and the changes happening in their communities, as well as encouraging them to express themselves artistically. The images represent honest and eye-opening accounts of their experiences, which general media often fail to accomplish. EPHAS presents these photos across the globe using the Internet, galleries, and schools, sharing them with those who are fortunate enough to help.

Many of the workshop participants' prints are available for sale on the EPHAS website. All proceeds go straight to the needs of their community.
