Here’s a chance to have your photograph taken by a professional and contribute to a really worthy cause as well. The Irish Professional Photographers Association (IPPA) Happy Faces Day is an annual event that sees professional photographers all over Ireland throwing open their studio doors or decamping to a local shopping centre in order to exchange a 7”x5” portrait for a charitable donation of just €25.
This year the entire amount raised will go towards the purchase of an incubator for the Neo-Natal unit of Temple St Children’s University Hospital.
The event launches on April 1st, and award-winning wedding and portrait photographer Jenny McCarthy is spending two days in the Dundrum Town Centre on April 11th and 13th.
If you are interested in contributing, see www.happyfaces.irishphotographers.com to find details of your nearest participating photographer. Eleanor Fitzsimons
