Taking photographs was always my favourite activity as a child, And when | was 15, | felt that if! wanted to take my hobby to the next level, | had to do something special. So | decided to start a personal project: | would take one photograph every day for a whole year of my life. | knew that many other young photographers before me had done the same | thing, but it seemed ikea really great idea, and so | started. | Altera fow weeks | decided to put these photos onto a website for young photographers because | was keen to create a photo diary, and also to have the ‘chance to show other people my photos. | was amazed to discover that there ‘were others who liked the way I saw and photographed things. | was also enjoying photographing a wide range of subjects. Then someone suggested that if my photographs all had a common topic or idea to connect them, my project would be even better ~ and | agreed. So | began to concentrate more on taking photos of nature scenes, especially of birds and the sky. A lot of them were black and white photographs, which was very different to what many other young photographers were doing — they were all taking colour photos. As a result, | sometimes had doubts about my project, and | almost ‘gave up several times. In the end, however, | trusted my own feelings, and became more confident about my photographic style and choices. One day I showed my project to my art teacher at school. She told me about a national photography competition for people my age. So | entered some of my photos, just for fun. I'll never forget the moment when the judges told me that | had ‘won first prize; | was so happy, as my project meant so much to me. It was the first time | realised that maybe my photography really was good, and that | might actually be able to work as a professional photographer. | now have my own photography studio and I've never regretted my career choice. 12 Reading 11 Martin started his project because he wanted to ‘A influence other photographers.
