<p>This book traces a 8000 miles roadtrip through the heart of the United States, through deserts, forests, mountains, ocean and glaciers.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/545631/picto_Plan_de_travail_1_copie_2-1538568420.png" width="100%" /></p> <p>Once back from this adventure, <strong>our passion for design and photography pushed us to self-edit this book that retraces and tells our journey through the colors of America</strong>. We would like to share and introduce you to the beauty of this country<strong> beyond the must-see tourist</strong> attractions you have probably already heard about. We wanted to dedicate this book to all these wild corners, where nature remains queen and offers us colors that remain imprinted in our <strong>imagination</strong>.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/545633/picto_EN_Plan_de_travail_1_copie_3-1538568571.png" width="100%" /></p> <p>This project was born from the <strong>meeting of 2 artistic directors</strong> and a common childhood dream: to make a roadtrip across the USA, to find and photograph the most beautiful landscapes of this country with a thousand colors. After 4 years of shared <strong>love for nature and photography</strong>, it was during the summer of 2018 that we set off on an adventure.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><strong>What will you find inside?</strong></h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>- Hundreds of <strong>unpublished</strong> photos</p> <p>- The <strong>locations</strong> where each photo is taken</p> <p>- <strong>Anecdotes</strong> about the galleys we may have encountered.</p> <p>- <strong>Explanations</strong> on how to take a particular photo</p> <p>- The exact <strong>temperature</strong> at the time of each photo, for a total immersion</p> <p><br /> <img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/545643/A5_Magazine_MockUp-1-1538570263.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/545646/A5_Magazine_MockUp_5-1538570301.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/545701/A5_Magazine_MockUp_7-1538578125.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/545766/A5_Magazine_MockUp_8-1538593003.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/545645/A5_Magazine_MockUp_4-1538570294.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><strong>Why should I&nbsp;participate?</strong></h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>By helping us reaching the &euro;2500 threshold, you will have your name in the book, and you will receive compensation at home: the more you participate, the bigger your gift.</p> <p>From the postcards from the book, to the art print 60 x 80cm of your favorite photo, obviously including the book signed and delivered in preview.&nbsp;</p> <p><em><strong>For the choice of art prints, I will send you a list of our best photos from the trip, and you can choose your favorite from 25 photos!</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><strong>Who are we?</strong></h2> <h2><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/545667/photo_alex-long-1538575497.jpg" width="100%" /></h2> <p><strong>Alex Celaire</strong></p> <p>After 5 years of study in artistic direction, I moved to Paris to work as a freelancer.
