I am assembling a photobook, with 100+ fine art nude and implied nude images in a unique location. We will spend seven solid days shooting photos and video with five or more models.

Pink Sands is an art nude photobook shot on a small Island on the outskirts of the Bahamas. This photobook will showcase beautiful models in some amazing outdoor settings.

This idea started when a friend of a previous Kickstarter backer saw my work and offered the use of her island house for one week. With use of the house already secured, I will just need funds to transport all the people, buy food, print and ship rewards, and other expenses necessary to complete the project. We will work long hours to stretch every dollar and get the best results. More about this location below.

I will arrange the Pink Sands photobook as a series of visual themes, each with a brief written introduction. It will be printed in high quality on thick 70# paper. It will be self-published; the hardcover will be sold on Amazon. Images will be large and in rich color, plus a few black and white for artistic effect. I will produce four formats:

  • Softcover 8.5×11 inches (22×22 cm). Limited edition printed on Premium 70# paper.
  • Hardcover 8.5×11 inches (22×22 cm). Limited edition printed on Premium 70# paper.
  • Expanded edition. Very limited. Hardcover 8.5×11 inches (22×22 cm). Premium 70# paper.
  • E-book 8.5×8.5 inches (22×22 cm). 300 dpi quality.

60-Minute HD Video

There is also a behind-the-scenes footage that brings you into the process. This is more than just the update clips. Full HD 1080p, minimum of 60 minutes detailing our week of shooting nudes in the Bahamas. Included in rewards of $50 and higher.

Expanded Pink Sands Book

At the $325 level and higher, your book will be very special. It will have the extra images from bonus package, at least 150 images (And as many as 210 depending on stretch goals.) The cover will state that it is a limited edition. Will include a biographical section for each model. This version will only be available to Kickstarter backers.

The budget has been carefully crafted in great detail with a margin for the unknown. This budget does not include any money for me. It will all be spent on travel and other expenses necessary to produce the rewards that backers receive.

We hope you enjoy our work and want to be part of this project. (links NSFW)
