Project 365: Mastering HDR Photography over 365 days.

For 12 months I self funded a backpacking trip around the world and used it as as a vehicle to refine my HDR photography skills by completing a project 365 from May 2013 to May 2014. This self managed and organised project saw me seeking and capturing abandoned places, odd locations and interesting people through Europe, North, Central and South America, Russia and South east Asia.

The defining feature of this life changing project through 50+ Countries was that I had to select, edit and post a single photo every day for 365 days including the GPS location and journal entry. This was published to a website I designed and built beforehand creating a solid year of my life documented through photography and writing and gaining a large following on social media with many people living vicariously through my daily posts.

As a result of this project I also found myself writing, exploring and photographing for Atlas Obscura, holding my first photography exhibition which was a huge success and winning many photography competitions and awards which funded further trips and had me off exploring more obscure locations including my next defining project in Iceland.

This was litterally the best thing I have ever done. It changed my life, and I have the first year of my trip fully documented which is super neat.
