Concept: 1 photo a day using my iPhone for over a year

365 – a year of daily iPhone photography by Bastien Pons

 

 

One photo a day, for 365 days. With nothing more than an iPhone and a commitment to looking closely, Bastien Pons captured a year in fragments — fleeting light, quiet corners, strange textures, overlooked details.

 

This black and white series is not about perfection or gear. It’s about presence — being there, every day, with open eyes. Shot without preparation or staging, each image is part of a visual diary that turns the ordinary into the poetic.

 

Some days are luminous. Others are rough, raw, or silent. But across the months, a rhythm emerges — a sensitivity to shadow, surface, and space. The constraint of shooting daily becomes a creative trigger, inviting intuition and instinct over control.

 

As in his other photographic work, Pons focuses on texture, absence, and abstraction, transforming mundane subjects into minimalist compositions full of emotional weight. His background in sound art informs the pacing of the series — like a sequence of visual notes, some barely audible, others striking.

 

365 is a meditation on time, attention, and imperfection. For those drawn to daily photo challenges, mobile photography, or introspective black and white art, this project is a reminder that meaning can be found in even the smallest things — if we learn to see them.
