FaceBike - Moto Clube Faro Bikers

<p> <strong>+EDIT+</strong></p> <p> We just won the <strong>Third Prize</strong> in <a href="http://px3.fr/" target="_blank">PX3 International Photography contest Paris 2014</a> for our FaceBike series made in 2012... We are so proud!</p> <p> Make FaceBike 2014 be alive... we need your support!!</p> <p> Thanks to all the Moto Clube Faro Bikers.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Winnerlogo" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/106963/winnerlogo.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>THE PROJECT:</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <em>(To read it in <strong>Portuguese</strong> or <strong>French</strong>, click on the button above <strong>EN</strong>, and choose Espanol or Français)</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><em>2012 the first travel</em></u></p> <p>  </p> <p> I have been regularly in Algarve, Portugal, for a decade now. I can say that I literally fell in love with this country... having a portuguese wife (and also co-worker!) helped me a lot also to enjoy this wonderful country!</p> <p>  </p> <p> During those trips i often heard about the <a href="http://www.motoclubefaro.pt/" target="_blank">Moto Clube Faro</a> and its annual "International Motorcycle Meeting" during summer. So I decided to see this concentration where tens of thousands bikers, from all around the world, gather together under a very hot sun, among dust and sand, captivated by motors and music resounding... drinking beers after a long travel.</p> <p> For many, bikers environment seems unfriendly due to a caricatured image, spread by mass media, where they appear as standing away from other people with their tough looking and badass faces.</p> <p> I rather found a warm atmosphere with friendly people and an easy approachability.</p> <p> As a portrait photographer i've found a part of the "nirvana"! People with such beautiful faces, full of strength and character!</p> <p>  </p> <p> In July 2012, after months of preparation, we were ready with my team, Teresa Machado and Guillaume "MolaMan" Dufour to get in this event and begin the FaceBike series.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="http://www.epaillardandmachado.com/Project/FaceBike/" target="_blank">Some of our images from 2012 session</a></p> <p> <a href="https://www.behance.net/gallery/6449673/FaceBike" target="_blank">Our project on Behance</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><em>2014...our plan for this second travel</em></u></p> <p>  </p> <p> For this second session, during summer 2014 annual Moto Clube Faro meeting, we want to concentrate our work on the bikers babies... <strong>their motorcycles! </strong>All in front of a travel studio background.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Facebike_je12108_final" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/101438/FaceBike_JE12108_Final.jpg"></p> <p> <em>Braza Tavares - Secretario Geral do Moto Clube Faro </em></p> <p> <em>©Epaillard+Machado</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Facebike_je11910_final" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/101429/FaceBike_JE11910_Final.jpg"></p> <p> <em>©Epaillard+Machado</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Facebike_je11974_final" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/101437/FaceBike_JE11974_Final.jpg"></p> <p> <em>©Epaillard+Machado</em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>OUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> If we raise enough fund, we will make a book from this project.

Allocation of funds

<p> "Minimum" total cost of the project: <strong>3950€ </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Life and shooting at Moto Clube Faro: 1450€</strong></p> <p> . We plan to go by car to Faro, from Paris. We have a lot of gears to transport so it is a better option than by plane, but still a long 4 days round trip: 800€</p> <p> . Food...and beers (It's HOT in there) - 3 people / 5 days: 300€</p> <p> . A little bit of photographic gear: Travel studio background + some accessories: 350€</p> <p>  </p> <p> We'll be welcome at a friend's house so hosting is free.</p> <p> We'll use our own car, photographic and lighting gear.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>The book: 2500€ </strong>(minimum)</p> <p> Making a book via Escourbiac (famous french printer) will cost for 100ex (that's the minimum amount they accept) about <u>8000€ </u>(shipping to EU citizens included) but we would like in our wildest dreams make a 300ex. limited edition copy. (around <u>10000€</u>)... <strong>it will all depend of your support!!</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> If we cannot raise our goals of 95 books pledged, we will still do this book but via Blurb, for people that pledged for it. Cost for 50 books: 2500€</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Post-Production Photography work</strong></p> <p> In 2012 we shot about 120 portraits! We worked on Photography retouching about 2 hours for each one! For 10 hours a day it is a 24 days work!!</p> <p> Making our living with photography, it will be difficult financially to work a full month on a project without having any other income.</p> <p> Your help<strong> </strong>will also allow us to work a full month, without anxiety on this project.</p> <p>  </p> <p> KissKissBankBank will take a commission fee of 8% on the final amount.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Facebike_je12157_final" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/101488/FaceBike_JE12157_Final.jpg"></p> <p> <em>©Epaillard+Machado</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Thank you for watching, for your support and lets meet there!! </strong></p> <p> <em>You may contact us via PM if you want us to shoot you with your bike during the meeting.</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Facebike_je12003_final" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/101608/FaceBike_JE12003_Final.jpg"></p> <p> <em>©Epaillard+Machado</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Facebike_je12332_final" src="https://kkbb-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/project_image/image/101448/FaceBike_JE12332_Final.jpg"></p> <p> <em>©Epaillard+Machado</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> You can visit our work: <a href="http://www.epaillardandmachado.com/" target="_blank">Here</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Epaillard+Machado Photography </strong></p> <p>  </p>
