Belfast photographer snaps women for charity calendar

News - Belfast Telegraph

A NEW charity calendar featuring 12 breast cancer sufferers in vintage lingerie will give hope to other women battling with the disease, a Belfast photographer said today.

Pamela Shomer, who captured the women on camera for the calendar, said it was a positive celebration of their courage and beauty.

The calendar, Corsets 4 Cancer, will be available to buy from October 6 and it is hoped will raise thousands of pounds for three cancer charities.

Pamela, who studied photography at Rupert Stanley College in Belfast but now lives in London, came up with the idea of the calendar along with a friend who owns a corset shop and is also a make-up artist and hair stylist.

She said: "I visited my friend Jenny Dodson's corset shop in Brighton and the seeds for the project were sown there.

"We both know women who have had breast cancer and we decided to do something worthwhile that could combine both our talents and raise money at the same time.
