What I’d also begun to learn was the importance of consistency and narrative in a body of work – BOOM. It hit me. Without a subject matter and with a goal to simply hit a shutter everyday, there’s no narrative, there’s no consistency, it’s purely just life where you can fit it in as you go about your day and it’s truly an honest reflection of your day, week, year.
This is what ultimately made me give it away. I was craving something with more meat on the bones, a project where I could spend a day shooting and still have nothing worth ever sharing, but something that was still laying the foundations of a house I want to build.
The 365 Project helped me realise what I do want to shoot, how I want to shoot it and where my strengths and weaknesses are as a photographer. 2016 has probably been a year with the most growth in my work and I can thank this project for that – so I certainly don’t regret it.
