EXPOSING HOPE
In 2007, Alissa decided to go beyond solely covering stories, seeking ways to directly assist the subjects of her work, and Exposing Hope was formed. Her mission is to use documentary photography to raise awareness and funds for victims of human rights abuses through photography exhibitions and presentations. She also sells her images to philanthropists and photography collectors to raise additional funds to support grassroots organisations she personally vets and coaches on communications and marketing.
