There is a certain satisfaction in helping someone kick-start their photography project.

Kickstarter is a wonderful website where photographers (amongst other mediums) can use it to help raise money to bring their project to fruition. It's a win for everyone, as in return for your backing, depending on how much you invest you will receive some form of product.

There are many reasons to show your support for a photography project, other than receiving goods because of it. It could be to help a worthwhile cause, support something you are passionate about, or simply to just help a fellow artist out.

To help get your investment juices flowing - here are 5 Kickstarter projects worth backing.

Camden Camera Cre8ivs

This is a great project to help the future generation to get involved with photography. Launched by the EDM Foundation, the objective is to teach teenagers residing in the Camden area, both digital and analog photography. This will be an after-school programme aiming to start in late 2018.

Prints, postcards and high 5s are on offer in return for your investment. However, this is really something worth doing just to support the local kids!

Borderlands

Borderlands, brought to us by Phil Curry, is an exploration of both cultural and national identity.  It is an opportunity to see how we recognise a change in location and societal norms.

The photography project will use landscape to identify where two nations become seperated, other than just the geographical border between them.

An interesting project, more so as nationalism is starting rise again throughout Europe.
