Hey everyone! Let me introduce myself!!

I’m Edel - that’s my attempt at “casual coffeeshop headshot posing”. Nailed it. Hi everyone!This is my FIRST post!! (Can you tell I’m a little excited?) If you’ve ever watched The Simpsons, you’ll know that the character Troy Mc Clure regularly introduces himself with the line “You may know me from….. and seen me in…..”  Well, I am not as well known as Troy Mc Clure but some of you MAY have seen me around the Cole’s Classroom or Táve communities - I am a mentor and community engagement specialist for all three of the Foreground brands (Shootproof being the third brand obviously!) So what do I do here? Well - help hopefully! My role is to make sure that the questions you ask go to the right place to get answered, and hopefully, to make this community a fun and inspiring (and educational!) place to be! Feel free to reach out to me if there’s something specific I can help you with, or if there’s an idea or feature within Shootproof you just LOVE and have to share! I’m also super keen to c

Our Values in Action

As a team, we care deeply about fostering a just, equitable, and inclusive community that reflects and amplifies diverse voices.   My colleague Anne said it beautifully on our Instagram this morning: “We aren’t especially good at being anti-racist. Even when we think we are. Even when we try really, really hard. So we paused, and we listened, and we argued, and we cried, and we grew depressed and hopeful and uncertain and empowered in turn. Then we put our big-kid pants on and took action.”  With that said, I’d like to share, on behalf of the entire extended ShootProof team, our committments toward building a better future. We’ve established ongoing financial support for Tomayia Colvin Education and The Photo Cookout. Photographers, if you’re looking for a place to start your education, on doing the work, start with this webinar offered June 10th.  Our local community is Atlanta, Georgia. We are proud to provide ongoing financial support for Illuminate ATL as they bring art educa
