My Photographic Dream : A Camera
Donation protected
I need your help fulfilling a dream!
I'm a young girl living in the heart of the Atlantic ocean; the Azores, Portuguese islands. I've loved photography ever since I was a little girl. I started taking creative pictures when I was just around 10!
As time went by my skills and love for photography only grew. I have done some photoshoots and I love it more each time. Now, being a professional photographer is one of my dreams.
However, I don't have a camera. I've never had my own DSLR. I have been photographing with my mother's old camera. Besides not being my own, it's turning into low-end gear and having many hardware problems. I've been doing the best I can with what I have, but it makes my work really hard, incredibly sow, and I wanna continue with something better. In addition to that, I study away from home, so I don't even have a camera for most of the year.
My parents are supporting my current studies, and I could not ask for more from them, as it would be out of their reach just as much as it is out of mine. So we humbly and gratefully count on your kindness and generosity. ♡
Initially, I was asking for 2000€. Fortunately, so many of you have been so incredibly kind, and, combined with my personal work and effort, I am now very close to having what I need to start out.
The basics would be a camera, a lens, and a bag to carry the materials. I have been gifted the bag, and I am around 200€ away from being able to buy the rest!
Your contribution would mean you helping me get my own DLSR, so I can go up a level on my work. My dream camera is a Nikon D750, and that's what I'm aiming for. Yes, I am very close to that!
It would mean the world for me to have a camera of my own, even more so such a good camera, which I would take years until being able to afford on my own. With the smallest of contributions, you would be offering me a ticket to dreamland.
I have been promising to offer a photoshoot to anyone who helps me with any amount. Untill the last penny, you will be included in this offer!
The pictures I'm showing you are some of the ones I'm proudest of. They were all taken with my mother's old camera, except for the first one, which was taken with the Nikon D750 of a friend of mine, who so kindly lended it to me for a test-drive, and a taste of what I will be owning as soon as I have the means. Do you like the photos?
With a new camera, I would be able to continue my work and start new photographic projects, such as conceptual photoshoots, and photojournalism. I would also be able to keep photographing people. I'm most interested in the beauties of Nature, and people's faces, work, and stories. Those are the things I want to continue to eternalize in photography, and I would only be able to do that professionally if I had a camera.
I am so grateful for all the opportinuties I've had so far. Now I am grateful for the opportunity to expose my work and open a fundraiser, for this might be the only chance I have to continue on with my photography dream. I will be ever thankful for any contribution. You are all in my heart!
If, by some miracle, I surpass the goal, I will also invest in studio gear, because I have none of that; or an analog camera, wich is on my dream bucket list!
Here are some more landscape pictures I have taken, so you can see a bit of what surrounds and inspires me.
I can only imagine what I would be able to do if I had a camera of my own, to carry around at all times, and that gave me no hardware headaches!
Thank you so much for your time and support! I hope I have inspired you to contribute with any amount, which I will be deeply grateful for!
(Feel free to address me personally if you need help donating, and you may as well donate in other forms, such as bank transfer, money order, or cash – most people have opted for these other forms, as they may be easier.)
