During this Fall a three month long expedition through Asia is planned with the purpose of collecting material for an exhibition. The theme will be to portray people with severe disadvantages in life, such as suffering from alcoholism, living in poverty or social exclusion. The itinerary is as shown on the map above, and the whole expedition is expected to take place during November-February.
The project is all about raising awareness about how terribly unequal the social and economical conditions are depending on where in this world you happen to be born. It’s remarkably easy to forget that we all live on the same planet, and that those of us who have the ability to help, also have a responsibility to do so.
I will be accepting assignments parallel to the expedition throughout the whole trip to make the finances work, so you are more than welcome to contact us should you be in need of my services. Despite a quite detailed itinerary, there are no restrictions whatsoever regarding detours or complete rearrangements to suit the needs of a client.
This is an ambitious project, so I encourage all types of sponsors, partners, donators, and potential clients to get in touch. I would love to listen to your needs and discuss in what way we can collaborate.
It is my great honour and pleasure to announce that both the major camera bag brand Lowepro and the alpine/trekking brand Salomon has decided to initiate a sponsorship for this expedition.
Regarding sponsorship:
When I reach out to a potential sponsor, there are a couple of things that are paramount. First, sponsorship is about two parties, not one. It is of great importance for me to give back, and to make it mutually interesting and beneficial. Second, I only want to associate myself with brands and organisations who’s products or services I cherish and take pride in using and promoting. This means that if I’ve contacted you, I genuinely love what you do.
As a photographer and writer, there are of course a series of services I can offer in return:
- Shots of your product ‘in action’.
- More specific product images for either commercial or editorial use.
- Reviews with images, text, video.
- Product placement. When photographing and writing for magazines.
- Your logo on website.
- Promotion in social media regarding all of the above.
- And of course your own requests. I am all ears, and eager to help you out!
