A photographic print sale featuring over 150 highly collectable and noteworthy photographers from across the world will launch on 3 October, with all proceeds going to War Child UK. Curated by Dust Off, the sale will feature work by a prestigious line-up that includes David Sims, David Bailey, Inez & Vinoodh, Anders Edström, Casper Sejersen, Venetia Scott, Carlijn Jacobs, Nadav Kander, Drew Vickers, Willy Vanderperre, Zhong Lin, Walter Pfeiffer and Tim Walker.
This is the first sale curated by Dust Off, who use the medium of photography to raise awareness and proceeds for humanitarian causes. It offers the opportunity to acquire a highly collectable piece from a diverse collective of exceptional photographers for just £125 in support of the vital work carried out by War Child.
This online sale runs throughout October and November, with all revenue from the sale donated to the work of War Child UK, a non-profit organisation that protects, advocates and stands up for the rights of children living through conflict across the world, from Afghanistan to Ukraine.
“I always support a good project. We should help, it’s good for the soul.”
Walter Pfeiffer, Photographer and Director
Nancy Rohde and Elizabeth Norris teamed up in 2022 to create the first edition of Dust Off. The fundraiser is happening in collaboration with John Gayner from INK Retouch and with support from Michael Nash Associates, Chroma Centre, and The Lab.
Nancy Rohde, Dust Off Co-Founder, Stylist and Creative Consultant said: “It was in Berlin that I was confronted first-hand by the exodus of women and children fleeing Ukraine disembarking from trains and onto the platform. There were so many children who would be profoundly affected for the rest of their lives. It really was the saddest thing I have ever witnessed, and I felt a desperate need to help. I thought about ways image makers could avail themselves and it was through conversations with fellow industry peers that Dust Off was initiated. We’ve been overwhelmed at the positive and generous response from the photographers, and we look forward to collectively being able to help the global humanitarian crisis via War Child.”
Elizabeth Norris, Dust Off Co-Founder & Director of Artistry said: “I could never have imagined Dust Off would be such a rewarding and exciting project to build with the wonderful Nancy Rohde and Katharina Uhe – so many incredible photographers, printers, graphic designers, and artists have been incredibly generous and supportive in bringing this special fundraiser to life – and that means the world to me. The quality of photography we are lucky enough to be selling is exceptional, and I hope we raise a fortune for all the children suffering globally as a result of conflict; they are at the core of everything we hope to achieve. I cannot thank everyone enough.”
