Jeff Beaumont 
Jeff is Director, Photographer and Editor. The main focus of his recent work has been humanitarian and community development projects in the developing world.
He has traveled extensively in Africa (Zambia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Malawi) and Latin America (Guatemala, Brazil and the Dominican Republic) in my most recent staff position at Willow Creek Community Church, to bring back stories of local partner organizations involved in building clean water systems, health initiatives and sustainable agriculture.
In addition, many of Jeff’s photographs from these trips were used in print, signage and on the web in fund raising efforts for these projects.
In 2005 he was also involved in documenting relief and rebuilding efforts in Waveland Mississippi in the wake of a Hurricane Katrina.
