[PLEASE SHARE] Three Days Ago Professional Photographer Bryan Bedder Had A Terrible Accident In Miami Hundreds Of Miles From His Wife And Child.
I am a surfer and a pro photographer myself. I also have a wife and, a son who’s coming up on his first birthday New Years Eve. I just caught this article in my News Reader. It was just posted a couple of hours ago and I must admit that writing this is making me tear up for his family. Which is kind of embarrassing since I am writing this over coffee in a Starbuck’s.
Bryan Bedder is a freelance celebrity photographer based in NYC. This week Bryan was hired to shoot few key events during Art Basel in Miami, which ended yesterday. Three days ago, while on a break from assignments, Bryan had a horrible accident: while at the beach, he dove into a sand bar which caused his C5 vertebrae to fracture and slip, which pinched his spinal cord. Bryan is now in ICU, totally immobile, far from home and really needs your help.
Bryan shoots for Getty Images for many years, and photographs entertainment events and well-known people on daily basis. People like Taylor Swift, Jon Bon Jovi and Beyonce are just a few of the people he has shot recently. He is one of the hardest working people in this industry and is one of the nicest people around. Bryan lives in New York with his wife and young daughter, but his unfortunate accident happened far away from home – in Miami, where he will have to stay for unknown amount of time.
There is still no clear understanding yet on what the future holds for Bryan and if he would be able to move again – and if so – if he would be able to go back and do the job he did for so many years. He went through one surgery already, and more may be needed soon. We all know how hard it is to be sick as a freelancer. Even a week or two without being able to work can greatly affect the business and life. This is why we as a community need to come together and help him and his family during these hard times. A fundraiser was created in order to help them go through the rough time of treatments and rehab without being able to work, and any donation can help.
