UK-based student Sophie Ellis, also known as crashbangsqueak on Flickr, has undertaken a common challenge among rising photographers: the 365 day project. Like other talented photographers we've featured on theMET (see Alex Stoddard and Brian Oldham), she decided to take it on to force herself “to keep trying out new ideas and experimenting.”
“Basically I'd suggest just doing something that encourages you to constantly push yourself to create an image on a regular basis. It doesn't have to be self portraiture or a set project, but just by pushing yourself to grow you can achieve a lot in a short space of time.”
