I created, led and participated in a photography project in 2017. It’s called “twelve months” – because it was a monthly challenge, over the course of all of 2017. I’m pretty sure you’re glad I explained the name. Would’ve been hard to guess otherwise 😉
With a group of photographers and photo enthusiasts, I set out to take photos for a specific topic every month. I would decide on the topic and everyone, including me, would have 30ish days to go out and shoot something to represent the theme.
The project didn’t go as I anticiptaed if I’m honest. I thought I would be more involved in creating a community and offer a place to learn from each other and exchange ideas. In the end, I do think I managed to find a group of people that enjoyed the project and I made some new friends that I otherwise probably would have never gotten in contact with, but I did underestimate the admin work a photography project would require.
If you want to learn more about the project, who did it with me and what the general outcome looked like – feel free to have a browse. Here are the photos I took for the project over the past year:
january: MORNING
february: DARK
march: LIGHT
april: FRIEND
may: SILENCE
june: SPEED
july: PERSPECTIVE
august: SUMMER
september: PATTERN
october: MOOD
november: OPEN CALL: midnight chai
december: HOME
That was my year in 12 themes. Just a small glimpse of my actual year but still a massive part of in many ways.
