Exactly one year ago, Hipstography published an article<\/span><\/a> about the 365 Project concept. We asked several hipstographers who had already completed one or several 365 Projects to give us some advice and tips for a successful adventure, in the right conditions. A year later, we\u2019d like to make up the balance with a panel of hipstographers, many of whom started their own project following the article we published.<\/h4>\n

Newbies<\/h4>\n

First 365 Project by Elaine Taylor<\/strong>: \"After reading the Hipstography article<\/span><\/a> about 'Project 365' last December, I found the motivation I needed. The article also inspired me to make my project 100% Hipstamatic. Hipstamatic is my favourite app and the first one I ever downloaded onto my phone. The app kickstarted my passion for mobile photography. I have always shot the majority of my images through Hipstamatic, but prior to this project, I usually edited them in some way in one or more other apps. For this project I shot in Classic Mode and used the 'Shake to Randomize' function, which I'd never really used before. Through that, I discovered some interesting lens\/film combinations and have been able to vary the style of my images over the year\".<\/em> Her conclusion amounts to this: \"Once I started there was absolutely no way I wasn't finishing it. Just a few days left - I can't wait to see it through to the end\". <\/em>She adds: \"It has been a great and very rewarding experience for me. Doing the 365 Project this year has encouraged me to shoot every day, and to think a little more creatively about the shots I was taking. It's opened my eyes a little more to the world around me and I have noticed things that might have previously passed me by. I've taken photos of things that I wouldn't normally - birds, drinks, walls, cars (there's even a selfie in there) - but each image has its place in my Project for a good reason and is a pretty good representation of the day on which I took it\".<\/em><\/p>\n

One last piece of advice from Elaine \"My advice would be, if you're thinking about it, just do it! Start on January 1st and don't look back. Use the Project as a way to reignite your creativity, as an excuse to push yourself out of your comfort zone, as a way to capture the world around you with fresh eyes. Don't miss a day - there's a photo waiting to be captured every single day. It\u2019s important to have a plan, in terms of how the images will be saved, and having some kind of 'theme' certainly helped to keep me focused\".<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t
