Dawn Bowery has begun crafting an inspirational coffee table photography book featuring the stories and portraits of an eclectic mixture of British people from all different walks of life who have followed their dreams to the City of Angels. Check out her campaign on IndieGoGo now!
Dawn says, “Los Angeles will forever have a special place in my heart and I feel so lucky to be living here and working as a photographer. It’s a dream come true! A few years ago I had the idea of combining my passion for photography with my interest in what brought my fellow Brits to Los Angeles. I put a post on the Brits in LA Facebook site and on my local Laurel Canyon page inviting people to contact me if they were interested in taking part. To my surprise, by the next morning I was inundated with people’s life stories! For the coming months I interviewed and photographed many people, getting to know them so that their portrait truly reflected their personality and life in Los Angeles. People from all kinds of different backgrounds, professions and walks of life are featured in this coffee table book. Some are celebrities and some are not and include an Olympic boxer, a butler, a rocket scientist and a scuba diving drummer to name a few!
This book is about the Californian Dream featuring real stories from real people – the highs and lows. Heartfelt stories about people who left their lives in England for the City of Angels. I’ve discovered that each persons definition of success is different but all are inspirational.
You too can be part of this California Dream! Let the stories inspire you and maybe you will discover a way to turn your own dreams into reality. There are offers to suit every budget from $15 to $600. You can be a patron and be mentioned in the book, purchase a print from the book or have your very own signed copy.”
