New Series: Blood Donation Center

Back in January, there were reports on the news about blood donation shortages in areas across the country due to the harsh winter weather.  This nudged a stock photo series I had contemplated previously, to the front of my mind.  This would be a series of images of blood donors, clearly in a donation facility, that could be used in hospital or donation center brochures, or even a company flyer promoting a blood drive.  A search across several stock photo agencies showed that there was still a lack of relevant imagery on the subject, so I set out to find a location.

My initial storyboard ideas were set in a mobile blood donation facility, but I ended up gaining access to a permanent donation center, which actually worked out better, as it makes the concepts very clear.  I gathered a multi-ethnic group of models spanning several age demographics.  The interesting part of this one, is that the models actually donated blood that day ( of course, I compensated them extra for the sacrifice 🙂 ).  So, the series has a “real” component to it, instead of just being staged in studio, for example.

Hopefully this series will enable those staging blood drives to have access to some quality images they can use to promote their activity.
