TEXTURES – Expo Photo Sydney (Australie)
<p>
I am Isabelle Belloi, and I have been selected among hundreds of artists from all over the world by the jury of the most famous Photo festival in Australia: "<a href="http://www.headon.com.au" target="_blank">Head on</a>".*</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Head On</strong> is a wonderful showcase not only for renowned artists, but also for emerging artist like me.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The festival duration is one month (from 1st to 31st May 2015) and is a real opportunity to export my work, learning new cultural aspects and photographic techniques but also to create new connection and give birth to new projects.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I will present <strong>10 photos</strong> (40x60cm on Dibond) in the "<a href="http://www.artmoment.com.au" target="_blank">Art Moment Gallery</a>", located in Bondi Beach, one of the creative nexus of Sydney.</p>
<p>

<p>
I plan to share my experience through my Facebook page <strong>Emulsion Photographique</strong> and/or a blog.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
As I will keep on working on new shots in Sydney, some of my feedback will be exclusive and you will be able to acquire them soon after the festival.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Meanwhile, I invite you to visit either my website "<a href="http://www.emulsion-photographique.com" target="_blank">Emulsion Photographique</a>" or the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/emulsionnel?fref" target="_blank">Emulsion Photographique Facebook</a> page just to make yourself an idea about my work.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Why "Emulsion"?</strong></p>
<p>
First, it is a wink to the light-sensitive emulsion of the photos on the roll.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Secondly, is symbolises the subtle mix of colours, textures and light so as produce a different vision of reality.</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
The intent in my current approach is to offer multiple interpretation possibilities, to completely unbridle the gaze, let the imagination run wild and free emotions.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Within this context, the <em>textures</em> came naturally to me.</p>

I currently focus on these material effects produces thanks to DSLR and macro.</p>

<p>
Dear kiss bankers, thanks in advance for your support which will help me, like a kangaroo, to jump across the other side of the world !</p>

<strong>Why fund it?</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The fund-raising will help financing part of the project.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I will indeed also contribute with my own money which is unhappily not enough to cover all the costs.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The overall budget of such a project is around 5700€. This includes the travel: the round-trip flight ticket and the accommodation during my stay (one month).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This is the reason why I organise this crowd-funding campaign.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Fund-raising details:</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>PRODUCTION</strong> (on site printing of my 10 photos – 40x60 –Ilford 310gr professional paper + Dibon glued back-straps): 1100€</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Gallery costs for one month exhibition</strong> (insurance, private view, renting, publicity): 1700€</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Total : 2800€</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>What if I exceed my target?</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
It will further help financing this large event and possibly the follow-up of my other projects (some exhibitions are already foreseen in 2015 in Belgium).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I also plan to launch my own Arts objects and concepts design.</p>
