2015 was it's fourth year, the street photography platform was initially created by American photographers Sam Smotherman and Renzo Grande. In it's first year contributors were sixty-five photographers the creators were familiar with, since then the project has swelled to mammoth proportions, this years event saw one thousand four hundred participants from four hundred and ten cities worldwide.
Taking part in this was physically and emotionally demanding. I quite literally walked the shoes of my feet after being awake for a total of 40 hours and covering a distance of some thirty miles whilst walking the length and breadth of Leominster shooting on the streets with my Iphone. Starting off at midnight on the 21st of March, with a dslr and a tripod as well as my Iphone and power bank, I soon dispensed with the camera and the tripod because I found the work-flow easier just using my Iphone, an illustration of why it has become so popular with street photographers and photojournalists...because it is so immediate, simply shoot, edit and transmit all on one device.
The resulting images which are uploaded to Instagram are curated and put together in a photo book and exhibited globally.
