San Francisco photographer Julian Cash is releasing a gallery, titled, "Peace Portraits" of 24 portraits of anti war protesters. www.JulianCash.com/peace

Cash says "It's important right now for the public to be part of the greater story about whether or not the US should be going to war. The press coverage of the anti-war movement often shows a very limited, predictable, and stereotyped cross section of those involved."

"The public requires a more intimate portrayal of those who demonstrate, one that portrays the thought process and humanity inherent in their perspective. These portraits put a face on opinions, and that makes their voices harder to deny."

Cash's signature white-background studio portraits span the range from profound and moving to absurd and funny. There are subjects of all ages, races, religions, and political beliefs. Some have worked for peace throughout their lives while others oppose this war specifically.

These images should be spread far and wide so they have a chance to help affect opinions and add to the national debate.

To use images from this collection in your publication, contact Julian Cash directly by emailing Julian@JulianCash.com or by calling 415.812.8143. All of the subjects have signed release forms. Interviews with people in the photographs can be arranged.
