<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>

<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>

<strong>OUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If we raise enough fund, we will make a book from this project. To celebrate some of the bikers we photograph (2012 & 2014 FaceBike series) during Moto Clube Faro Motorcycle Meeting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>To work with a prestigious printer from France, <a href="http://www.escourbiac.com/site/" target="_blank">Escourbiac</a>, we need to pledge at least 95 books.</strong></p>
<p>
<strong>29,7x21 cm Hardcover, ImageWrap 80 pages book.</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
If we raise the fund, without arrived at 95, we will print the books via <a href="http://www.blurb.com/" target="_blank">Blurb</a> with their best quality mat paper.</p>
<p>
25x20 cm Hardcover, ImageWrap 60 pages book.</p>

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>
