The Story.
“I wanted my photography to make
a difference to be more than just
images I wanted to be able to
create something that would not
just add to the noise but that could
make a lasting difference”
–Ethan Bender
The Main Street Project
was originally created by
Ethan Bender as a personal,
community-driven project. Born
from his passion for visual

way to create content for his
personal portfolio while at the
same time giving back to the
community.
The plan was simple. Ethan
would approach businesses and
offer to do an environmental
portrait of the owner or a main/
key employee and give the
business the photograph gratis.

We are proud to announce that
we will be continuing the project
on a larger scale by offering
this opportunity to as many
small businesses in Hanover
as possible. We will be booking
these shoots through the Town
of Hanover and hosting a
gallery event at the conclusion
of the project at which point the
images will be donated to the
town. If you have any questions,
or would like to see how you
can get involved, please feel
free to contact us.

texture and atmosphere with limited editing
to create vital images that encapsulate a
moment in time.
