Helene Relief Print + Card Sale

For the foreseable future, I will be donating at least 10% of proceeds from photography print and card sales to mutual aid organizations and those who have lost homes in the Western North Carolina area due to Hurricane Helene. My photography work has been impacted and I am grateful for your support at this time. so far, i’ve donated $900 from this sale—thank you! If you would like to donate to those hit hardest directly, please consider the list below.

Prints are high-quality, archival matte inkjet. They are made on demand with a Asheville-based printer, so please allow several weeks for print turnaround time. Cards are pre-printed. If any cards are sold out and you are interested, please email me at hello@ritakovtun.com with your interest and I can get things reprinted within several weeks. I’m planning to do shipments weekly, so please allow some extra time for that as well.
