Project description

Hello dear readers,

This is my first post, and first time i'm writing in blogger (so don't be too harsh on me ;P )

My name is Maria, a.k.a Smylik, i'm 18 years old, a business administration student, playing the violin and starting as a photographer. 

Which is the reason why i'm here. Let me tell you my story:

So, a year and half ago, I, suddenly to myself, discovered that I really love photographing. And in a rush to fulfill my sudden dream, I worked the whole summer, collected some serious money and bought my first DSLR (back then I was really proud of the fact that I didn't borrow any money from my mom).

After a week (or so) I moved to Austria, Vienna, and started my studies in the university. And now  i'm partially working as an event photographer. Yay me! 

Anyway, events are great and all, but i have the feeling that i'm not developing in any creative way, and after all, I cannot be 100% creative when shooting in events. 

That's why I decided to start this 90 Day Project- 90 days of self portraits, which supposedly will develop my photographing skills. 

So at first I was like, "it's soo narcissistic to take pictures of myself for 3 month..lets take pics of flowers or something..", but NO. Flowers are awesome and all, but i believe that auto portraits are THE way to develop.

Because, you see, when you are thinking of yourself, you see your simple picture like everyday in the mirror.  

What I'm doing is challenging myself to twist my imagination and see myself from different perspectives for 3 months. 

Let's set some rules: 

1. A self portrait must be submitted every day until 12 o'clock. 

2. Doesn't have to be Photoshopped

3.  Must be taken from any electronic device with  camera

4. I must be the one to press the button of the shutter. 

I think that's all...I really don' t know yet how is it going to work, and If i'm going to succeed.. but I really want to. 

Guys, critiques are more than welcomed (after all, this is the only way to study).Share this blog. If you have friend photographers, you are one, or just want to write your opinion, PLEASE DO! 

Starting date: 23 December, 2012

    (just in case the world is going to end two days before xD )

So, Challenge Accepted,

Until next time
