Thank you for visiting our support page for PhotographicTherapy.com and 100 Photographic Voices. Each person or entity that donates will be listed by name and website link (when provided) or with total anonymity. Anonymous users will be annotated on this page when requested.  The estimated goal is approximately $100,000 at the rate of $1,000 per person. These costs are illustrated below on a per subject basis. This chart represents the minimal costs associated with helping Rolando Gomez complete 100 Photographic Voices.

It’s estimated that it will take approximately 200 days to photograph 100 women for the massive book project. Obviously time will be needed for post-productions, logistics preparation and more, so 200 days contributed to this project is only for the photography. Rolando will spend one full-day photographing each subject and estimates on average one-half day of travel each way as some subjects may be from the same geographical area and every effort will be made to capitolize on proximity to ensure saved costs.     

The goal is to generate enough contributions to help fund the undertaking of photographing, at no cost to the subject, 100 women over the age of 18-years, to illustrate their inner- and outer-beauty through photography. The book, 100 Photographic Voices, is a life-long dream of three-time, published author, Rolando Gomez.  

All contributions will cover the expenses associated with photographing 100 female subjects, including transportation, lodging, meals, administrative, hair, make-up, wardrobe, assistants and all associated costs for the completion of 100 Photographic Voices.  

Estimated Costs per person:

Item Estimated Cost Per Person Estimated Total Project Costs Total Photographed Actual Project Costs Actual Average Per Person
Hair & Make-up $200. $20,000 0 $0 $0
Air Fare 300. 30,000 0 0 0
Lodging (based on two days, includes room, taxes, tips, parking) 200. 20,000 0 0 0
Equipment Baggage Excess Charges 200. 20,000 0 0 0
Meals, Incidentals (includes assistants, photographer) 50. 5,000 0 0 0
*Photographer’s Talent Fee n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a
Post-Production & Administration Fees, copies, paper, ink, postage, etc. 50. 5,000 0 0 0
Totals $1,000. $100,000 0 0 $0
          

*Photographer Rolando Gomez will donate as much of his time as feasibly possible.  Contributions in excess of what is required to photograph the subject will be set aside for any reasonable talent fees to help Rolando cover his normal living expenses that will affect him and his family’s livelihoods from his donated time.  It will take approximately 200 days, to actually photograph each subject, obviously no one can provide the livelihoods for his family and himself without compensation for 200 days.  Any additional contributions above the expected costs above will help create the sabbatical environment to help complete this project.    

You may donate any amount by using this button below. Please remember, this donation is for 100 Photographic Voices only, donations to PhotographicTherapy.com are considered separate to help maintain this site, server and system upgrades.

PhotographicTherapy.com and Rolando Gomez are seeking anyone associated with the airline, rental car, loding and other industries that will consider donating their services and products to this project. Example, if hotel chain “X” wants to donate all loding for this project (where applicable) this would reduce costs considerably. Another example, if rental car company “X” or airline company “X” would like to contribute vouchers, services or discounts, this would obviously aleviate costs and help expedite this project. If you feel you can assist us in this, please contact us first.
