365 Project. A photo a day for a whole year!

 

During 2013 to 2014 I took one photo every day for a year.

It was a big challenge to take on but I was looking for something to tap into my creativity. As a family and wedding photographer life can be filled with other peoples photos. This 365 project meant that I got to take just one photo a day all for myself.

Now, I’m not going to pretend it was easy, I admit it was a struggle at times. Inspiration floored me sometimes and and often I left it really late. But I did persevere and I did finish it.

On the whole I actually enjoyed it and love the finished result even more.

Challenging myself with a 365 project meant that I learnt a lot. Making pictures that are both creative and artistic from your everyday moments teaches you to look at life differently. I understand that “normal” moments, the unremarkable ones become important and special over time. They help remember those times that we won’t get back.

This was my first 365 project but I’m hoping that it won’t be my last. Having a whole year of family photos is just priceless to me. I put this little selection into a photo book for me and my kids to treasure forever.
