Before photo-a-day selfie timelapses were a popular project, photographer Noah Kalina helped the concept explode into mainstream awareness with his viral 2006 video titled "everyday." Kalina hasn't stopped since, and his latest video features 20 years of his life passing in 8 minutes.
A 22-year-old woman has created a viral timelapse video of herself aging 8 years in 3.5 minutes. She has been faithfully shooting a selfie a day since age 14 for the frames in the video.
Here's a 2.5-minute video by Hugo Cornellier, who has captured a selfie every day of his life from when he was 12 years old up until his recent wedding. The video starts in February 2008 and ends when Cornellier tied the knot in August 2017 -- a span documented by over 2,500 photos.
20-year-old Hugo Cornellier of Canada has been taking one selfie a day before the word "selfie" became a thing. He started his daily ritual 8 years ago, when he was just 12 years old. This past weekend, Cornellier published the 2-minute above that shows himself growing up from age 12 to age 20.
Mike Mellia is an advertising and fine art photographer based in New York City. Over the past year, he has been working on a project titled "A Selfie a Day Keeps the Doctor Away." It's an ongoing series of self-portraits captured in a studio and shared through Instagram.
Mellia poses as a wide range of fictional personas and includes clever and humorous captions to go along with each image. He says the photo above shows "that one time an affluent divorcee invited me to clean her pool."
"One selfie per day" projects require a great deal of commitment but aren't exactly novel these days -- everyone and their mother seems to have hopped onboard the bandwagon after Noah Kalina's everyday project went viral.
Still, there are still the select few that stand out from among the rest. One of them is the video above, which shows 8 years of a young man's life in continuous stop-motion.
This isn't your standard 'take a selfie every day' time-lapse. The typical photo-a-day creation is meant to show subtle changes in appearance happen quickly enough for us to notice them, but there's nothing subtle about what happen to the gentleman in this video.
