As of october 1st i started with a rather ambitious project i've been thinking about for a few months now with the most important means to develop my portrait (and people) skills in a fast and disciplined way:

365 days – 365 people – 365 portraits

Goals:

-work on my people skills

-learn how to make a great portrait in just minutes just by looking at a person, the surroundings and talking a moment about their interests/important stuff in their lifes

-acquire self discipline

Rules:

-make one every day, no cheating, the date in the metadata will be proof, so no chance of making a few on one day so on another day i can be excused

-no friends or family unless there’s absolutely no other possibility

-does not have to be posted every day (i travel a lot so would be impossible to keep up with) but it has to be posted in the right order


starting date (first attempt) october 1

You can follow the project either on Deviantart: [link] or in a blog i'm keeping for this: [link]


If all goes well and i’ll manage to actually make 1 portrait a day in 365 days i’m considering making a photobook out of it.


In case you like this and would like to be part of this project, feel free to contact me at artemisia_mnemosyne@hotmail.com . Of course, since i live in Belgium, there’ll be more chance for a collaboration if you live in Belgium or neighbourly country, but since i travel a lot… who knows!


Enjoy my journey with me
