Just like Alex Stoddard, in fact alex sought inspiration from Hardy seeing as she had also done a project that involved taking photos each day for a year. The name had rang a bell seeing as she had produced the front cover of maroon 5's recent album, 'hands all over.'
She started at the age of 16 but is now currently aged 19. She'd often look at various magazines and often pondered about why the images in which she had taken, wasn't like the ones in which were in the magazines. It was through many trials and errors, and educated herself in post processing skills that got to where she is today. She wanted to take 'pretty shots' of herself and then take it to photoshop and just experiment and be lost within the tools contained within.
She then joined flickr, and it was there she started to produce the 365 day project consisting of one self portrait a day for a whole year. And the aim was to improve as she went along, and to actually see the improvement and development. In a sense, doing this as a starting point and not be disheartened by other photographers work is a good idea. She stated that, "what is important to keep in mind is that every amazing photographer was once a horrible photographer who took awful photographs." Meaning, we all have to start somewhere, but its how you get there. You need to find it within yourself to actually be fully motivated all the time, in order to get what you want. It just takes a lot of trial and error.
