Army Benevolent Fund Official Calendar 2010

As you may already be aware, I am thrilled to be photographing 12 ‘Sweethearts’ for the Official 2010 Army Benevolent Fund Calendar! It has a sexy, vintage theme and I am working with 12 gorgeous models who are all devoting their time voluntarily. This is a huge and exciting project for me to be involved with! It’s so much fun, but most of all it helps a fantastic cause. Being involved with the ABF has given me a totally different perspective on the work of the Army and what happens when things go wrong. I realise just how much they need public support and this calendar is going to help raise vital funds and awareness for the charity. It will be fully funded by sponsorship, which means that every single penny raised through calendar sales will go directly to the Army Benevolent Fund.

Here is a teaser shot from my first shoot with Miss January!

The ABF provides support in so many forms. They help injured soldiers, veteran soldiers, families of soldiers who have been killed whilst serving, to name but a few. Every year they must raise in excess of £5million to be able to carry out their vital work and help to rebuild the lives of those brave servicemen and women who do such an amazing job, representing our country and helping the civilians of oppressed countries rebuild their lives again. These soldiers are not ruthless killers. They are human beings placing their lives on the line for other people, so that your friends and family don’t have to. In the last week alone, 4 British soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan. Please show your support by sponsoring the calendar and buying it when it goes on sale in September!
