Since the age of seven, photography has been a platform for my creative expression. However, with outdated tools and a pandemic, I haven’t quite felt like personally taking fun pictures anymore.
So, an idea sprung to me....
What if I offered local businesses, solo entrepreneurs, friends, and family a one-off photoshoot in exchange for funding my photography equipment Crowdfunder goal! Which means you get a bunch of new photos for a heavily discounted price and I get the opportunity to reignite my love of photography AND finally update my photography equipment. Yes!
You're also more than welcome to simply support my Crowdfunder campaign by donating. All non-reward donations will receive a huge heartfelt thank you from me and will be entered (if local to Cambridge) into a one-hour shoot draw. The winner will be announced once we meet our target.
Here's what I'm planning on investing in:
- A new camera body
- Two new lenses
- A photography backdrop
- Videography tools (if I reach my stretch target)
In exchange for:
- A personal brand photoshoot
- Product or workshop shots
- Team photos and headshots
- Family photos
- Social media content snaps
Here's how the Crowdfunder works:
Share what you can towards my Crowdfunder or pick from a selection of my photography-based rewards. Then simply drop me a message to get your date booked in. Dates are first come first served and shoots will commence when we reach our Crowdfunder target. Most reward options are only available within Cambridge, but do get in contact if you have any other ideas and I can recommend an alternative option. More details on what each reward includes can be found in the rewards section. You'll also see all rewards state an amount or 'more' where you're welcome to donate more for that particular award if you wish.
Note - Crowdfunder will ask you for a 'tip' which you can opt out of by pressing 'custom' and selecting 0. I want to make sure these shoots are as affordable as possible and with £25 being their minimum tip (for them) I thought this important to note.
I'm so excited to be offering this opportunity and I hope we can work together so we can all benefit! If you're not in a position to donate then please consider sharing this online or with someone you know who might be looking for an affordable shoot or looking to support a creative adventure. Thank you.
Right, let's get cracking shall we!
