« Première Neige », the First Photo Book by Jérémie Villet
<h2>The Project in a Few Words </h2>
<p><br />
I am excited to present you my “Première Neige” project, which captures the essence of six solo winterings in a wild and white world. <br />
In this first book, I take you on an imaginary journey through a real world. <strong>My unfiltered photographs</strong> bring you the most breath-taking moments of that immaculate universe. </p>
<p><strong>This beautiful 100-page book, printed in France on a quality paper and manufactured in an exclusive workshop,</strong> will feature 80 photos.<br />

<p>While kids my age dreamed of becoming firefighters or footballers, I always wanted to be a wildlife photographer. A fascination that now takes me every winter to the Northern countries, where I face extreme conditions to capture images of an untamable wildlife. </p>
<p><br />
<strong>Awarded the Wildlife Photographer of the Year,</strong> I travel alone through the white deserts of the northern hemisphere with my skis, pulka and telephoto lens, convinced that, somewhere on Earth, our imagination becomes reality. </p>
<p><strong>The Book: a Quality Artistic Project </strong></p>
<p>"Première Neige" will be a book of art photographs, printed in France at the Manufacture des Deux-Ponts, on quality paper from Fedrigoni (FSC label). Here are its main characteristics: </p>
<ul>
<li>100 pages </li>
<li>80 photos in square format </li>
<li>Woven cover with hot stamping </li>
<li>Printed in France </li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.lesothers.com/" target="_blank">Les Others</a> – a collective with consistent track record in printing publications – assist me in the design, production and manufacturing of this book. They take charge of the entire project to produce a high-quality book, including format, choice of paper and best printing methods. </p>

Allocation of funds
<p> </p>
<p>By pre-ordering your copy, you help the project to carry out and support the fundraising campaign, that will be used to fund the different stages: page layout, paper ordering, printing, shipping costs…<br />
I will donate 1€ per book sold to the <a href="http://www.wwf.fr" target="_blank">WWF</a> association, which has been working since 1973 to protect animals, such as those you will admire in this book. </p>
