About this project

Hello. My name is Michael Combs and I'm an art nude photographer whose been given an opportunity too good to pass up, but too expensive to do without help.

Recently, I've been approached to appear in a gallery show at the largest gallery in town. I'm self taught and have spent years honing my craft. In six short years, I've published a book, "Hello" (http://tinyurl.com/25qaq3x), have been featured in various photography and modeling websites and is going to appear in Running Press's "The Mammoth Book of New Erotic Photography." Not bad for a beginner, eh?

My goal has been to make my living off of gallery sales and I've got my first big opportunity to get my work out there in a gallery setting. The Art Center has asked for 12 of my pieces to be included. Needless to say, I don't have the cash. I'm a single father of two who lives in a small town, whose wages are barely enough to feed the family and keep a roof over our heads.

For the show, I need to raise at least $1,000. This will allow me to get the twelve pieces printed and mounted on foam core board. If I can raise more money, then I could get them framed as well.

This is a huge opportunity for me. The gallery normally doesn't carry art nude photography, but they're making an exception for me. Please help!
