Isabel comments, “Hello everyone, my name is Isabel Lamporte. I am a volunteer researching neuro aesthetics and a contributing photographer for Healing Photo Art. I am volunteering from Florence, Italy and it has been an incredible experience. I got connected with the foundation through Syracuse University, where I am an Environmental and Interior Design major. So, my studies and career connect directly with the mission of the foundation to create medical spaces more comfortable for all the people that use it. I love using my photography as inspiration for my interior projects and hope I can continue to make a positive impact by contributing to Healing Photo Art!”

Haylee comments, “Hello, my name is Haylee Hutson, and I am volunteering for the Healing Photo Art Foundation through the Syracuse University Florence I-Volunteer program! I am currently in my third year of college at Syracuse University, where I am studying marketing and entrepreneurship. I am thrilled to be a contributing photographer for this wonderful non-profit to help spread a sense of joy to those spending their time in hospitals. I’ve had the luxury of being able to take beautiful pictures across all different terrains throughout the world, and I am so excited for this opportunity to share them as a vital part of the foundation’s mission.

Here is one of my first contributions to the foundation, which was taken at Saranac Lake in Upstate New York. Being from Syracuse as well, I’ve ventured to many stunning Upstate locations like this one. This was taken right after an intense rainstorm, and I thought it was a special and comforting capture of a bold rainbow. I am honored to contribute to such a meaningful cause!”
