Photographer Thomas Knights has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the next RED HOT calendar, which aims to change society’s perceptions of ginger-haired men and women. For the first time 2016’s offering will include two calendars: one featuring men, and the other women.
It’s target on Kickstarter was £6,000 and there were various rewards on offer, including signed copies and the opportunity to sponsor the project. Since its inception three years ago, RED HOT has manifested itself in calendars, a coffee table art book, exhibitions in London and New York and more – with proceeds from the sale of calendars being donated to anti-bullying charities.
“Thousand of pounds have been raised for The Anti-Bullying Alliance through the sale of the previous calendars, and well over £15,000 has been raised for various charities via our many RED HOT initiatives,” says Knights. “We literally couldn’t have done this without your support.” Explaining why the money is needed, he says: “The 2014, and the current 2015 calendar, were ultimately side products of creating the RED HOT exhibition and RED HOT 100 book – we shot 120 guys around the world for the book so used extra, appropriate images for the calendars.” Check out a couple of examples of what the 2016 men’s calendar looks like on GoSee and support by buying : gingerparrot.co.uk
