The Invisibles is a photo project about the people who are working behind the scenes in the live music industry. This includes a lot of different people who are truly making gigs happen and ensuring an unforgettable experience for music lovers. From the venue owner to the staff at the door checking the tickets – only very few are being noticed by the concert attendees and in most cases, easily forgotten. The majority of the workers in the live music industry are invisible. This project is about them and aims to show the appreciation they and their important work truly deserve.
I started this photo project last year and ran it actively up to summer, breaking the process with a little A4 size book with portraits of workers within the live music industry.
What's Needed & What You Get
The book was part of my assessment at university, as well as a needed break and summary for the project. However, quite a few people asked for a copy of the book and since my own financial situation doesn't allow me to print all of them right now, I have decided to go crowdfunding way.
- In the goal amount I would like to collect, are calculated printing costs, ISBN code creation (the first print of the book didn't have it however, I think it deserves it), shipping and transportation fees, various Indiegogo and bank fees (yup, there are a lot of those!) and whatever will have left from this... will partially cover my expenses while preparing/doing photoshoots and towards the progression of this project.
- The perks created are basically a book (with a shipping option or without it), and when you select one, you will get a chance to see the addon perks, which probably will be the most interesting for the participants themselves: a chance to get a separate professional photo print(s) of their portraits.
- However, if you are not the participant, but would like a print of the setup picture of the venue, you can use these add-ons as well, just don't forget to message/email me and let me know your wish!
The Challenge
There is a risk, that the goal will not be met which would be... upsetting! Because if the goal is not met, there will not be ANY books printed (don't worry, you will get a refund automatically if that will happen).
However, if you really would like a copy or two for yourself, I cannot stress this enough - please share this wee campaign! That's the only way it can happen.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions at all.
Let's make this happen!
