Wildlife Portraits - An NFT funded photobook project

Hello friends, followers and fans!

It's been almost three years now that I took my interest in wildlife photography more seriously and it's been an amazing journey. Thank you to all those that have supported me via likes, favourites, comments, voting my photos in competitions and purchasing my works. It truly motivates me to improve my craft and continue capturing those special and elusive moments in the wild. I have more photos in the works to come including from my more recent adventures in Amboseli, Tanzania and Kimana Sanctuary.

To commemorate how far I have come and thank my supporters, I wanted to create a photobook on my best wildlife portraits and I thought of funding this as an NFT project. Project details:

- Each photo that will be part of the photobook will be available for purchase as an NFT in its own right via a suitable marketplace (most likely OpenSea and/or Manifold Gallery)

- Holder of each NFT photo will be eligible for a 100% sitewide discount code across my print-on-demand (https://8-nirav-shah.pixels.com/) and licensing (https://licensing.pixels.com/profiles/8-nirav-shah) sites.

- At the end of the project, the collector who holds the most number of NFTs and more than half of the collection will receive a 25cm by 25cm premium lay-flat format photobook in a wooden box that bears a personalised engraved message for the lucky collector. If no collector owns the most number of NFTs or more than half the collection at the project's end, then the photobook will be put up for auction and awarded to the highest bidder. The photobook will also be tokenised as an NFT.

- Each wildlife photo and the photobook will be sold as a 1/1 edition.

Remark: sitewide discount of 100% is a only a waiver on my commissions on the host sites. Host site's fees, shipping costs (for prints), applicable taxes etc. are still payable. The discount code expires approximately 3 months from the NFT sale.

I would love to hear from you on your thoughts and comments below on this photobook project/idea.

Cheers!
