Last week on Facebook I shared a link to a set of photos of a hot Viking looking model. We all know that after going to Copenhagen last year I’m a little obsessed with Scandinavian Viking men. Tim that I photographed last week and Mikael whom I photographed in Copenhagen both commented that I should go back over and shoot the two of them as Vikings. Then I made a joke about the chance of crowd funding such an adventure… but could I?
There have been some pretty wild and overly ambitious kickstarter programs that have made their target money when no one would expect them to. Would funding a photographer to fly around the world photographing beautiful nude men really be that absurd? When you start a crowd-funding program the people backing you get a reward relating to the size of their donation. The rewards could range from image sets, limited prints, books of images all they way up to… who knows. Hell, if people want, they can fly me to wherever they are to do a shoot for them!
Sydney photographer Luke Austin took off around the world a few years ago to photograph men and met his now husband on the first stop. Maybe this would get me a gorgeous naked Viking husband after all? I can dream.

What is the worst that could happen if you tried it? There are lots of art and photography projects on Kickstarter, and I´m sure on other crowd funding sites.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I say try it. I’ve seen some absolutely inane crowdfunding setups, a lot without an incentive for those giving. At least you’d over art/prints in return.
Go for it! You might be surprised how many of us out here would love to see you live out one of your dreams.
