Update ••

So0O. After checking with a few of our photogs for this month and seeing where shooting is at, we've decided to give ya'll a bit of a time extension.

Please plan on having 3-5 images uploaded to the team Dropbox (click here) by...

Sunday, May 31 at 12am

Aaron or I will try to check up on each of you at some point this week to see how ideas are coming along and if there is any way we can help. In the meantime, if you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email: hearmesayjesus@gmail.com


Thou art dismissed to go and be super-uber creative!

Hello happy shooters!

I realize that the idea of heroes is a rather conceptual and may be hard to think of ideas for. So after a bit of brainstorm I came up with a few ideas that I hope will help you.

>>Play with mirrors. Quite a few of the captions have to do with OUR identity.

>>Use children. Stereotypically, children have the most vivid picture of heroes.

>>Ideas like strength, fire, and light are portrayed in the quotes. These are great concepts to illustrate visually.

>>Sirens, police, military, firemen, are very stereotypical illustrations of heroes.

Hope this may help a little! Keep up the awesome work and feel free to contact me if you have questions or wan to bounce an idea off of me.

• Heroes are just the ordinary who do the extraordinary.

Additional Vision & Inspiration ••
Heroes (click to listen)
by Jars of Clay
We're in shock from the failed emotion
No cause in a shadow land
We sing while the city's burning
No room, no escape, no plan
We all never thought it would end this way
And we need a hero
To save us from ourselves
Save us from our fear
When the sirens wail, we need a hero here

Quotes:
"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” - Christopher Reeves (Superman 1978)

“A hero is a man who is afraid to run away.” - English Proverb

“The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.” - Felix Adler

“Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.” - Benjamin Disraeli

Nearly two years ago, Revolution Press was the precursor to Revolutionary Media. Established as a group of artists - photographers, writers, and graphic artists, Revolution Press was focused on building photo essays and photo sermons that changed perspectives and impacted lives. The stories focused on everything from the investigation of Jesus ministry, to the deep pain of spiritual sorrow.
