TIH Homeless Models Exhibition

Donation protected
Hey!

I'm Tatjana Hoffmann, 24 from Germany and the Founder of TIH Models in London.
TIH aims to offer employment to young people in London. It's a great start for them to get back on track, as modelling has quite flexible working hours and the shoots+ makeovers support self-confidence and highly needed community. Read more on www.tihmodels.com
 
I myself am a simple photographer (portfolio: https://www.lensculture.com/tatjana-irina) I was a student of the famous german photographer Jan C. Schlegel (http://www.jan-schlegel.com/)

I mention that, because I want to give a clear vision of myself and my fully good intentions with the exhibition and the project. I worked with non-profit organisations, Like Pick-a-Pocket before and did volunteer work over several years.

I don't have the backup to finance the business all by myself. Before taking a big loan out, I wanted to share the project with you . The profil the exhibition will make by selling the pictures will 100% go back into TIH Models. The agency itself is a Non-Profit / Social Enterprise.
Some of the models images already were presented on Paris Fashion Week this year.  

The money will be used for: 
- Model pay [half day, £10/h] --> 9 Models £450
- Camera £650]
- Homeless Model transport to shoot £70
- Exhibition Space + Frames £1000
- Advertisement Flyers/ FbAds £150
- Darkroom chemistry + paper £400

EITHER:
 Flight to Germany to develop the images at my Teachers Darkroom [cheaper--> £50-£60 + darkroom bills £100]
OR:
renting a darkroom in London to develop
[more expensive/ £40 session x9 or more -->£360]


It all comes together to £4720
It would be so lovely if you could help me raising £2000-
£4000 by contributing or sharing the campaign on Facebook or with friends!

The money will be needed latest by the end of august, as I need to start working on the images. As soon as winter hits, the models are in a much more diffictult position, looking for shelter etc, so I want the exhibition to be up and running as soon as possible. Best before November.

I am a analog fine art photographer, which means I will need 2 full months to get everything done!

Please believe in this with me and be blown away by how lifes will get transformed. It already is such a beautiful story, it's just a question about funding it an giving it the start-up push that's needed!
The models and I would be so grateful!

Thank You!
