Illuminate

Award-winning artist Eric Krimmel set out to create a photograph a day, every day, for an entire year. Working under a tight daily deadline he produced a body of work that includes 365 compositions.

The structure of this project included a few basic guidelines: strive for variety, use the camera not as a recording device but to express an idea, and include text with each photo that helps guide the viewer to the idea behind the work.

The collection is impressive and it's subject matter touches on social commentary and cultural issues, joy and tragedy, existential ruminations and mundane realities of life. There is a brief introduction and conclusion, and every photograph with accompanying text is presented on a double page spread for a total of 736 pages.
