The End of Likeness

The first picture was posted on my Instagram on April 15th, 2015, and the final one over four and a half months later, in late August. My first estimate of 75 photos and videos of the ten inch figurine of myself almost doubled, to 141 posts, one per day. The Likeness project had a fine run, but all things come to an end, and my figurine’s time was adventurous and well documented.

My favorites from the series will have a permanent home on my website and a limited edition 6x8 inch book will soon be available. (The run is limited to 50 pieces, costs $38.00 and is now available for ordering via my Paypal account associated with the email address chris@chrisbuck.com. Each book will be signed and numbered by me).

Likeness enjoyed some good press, including my first coverage by the Time Magazine photo blog, Lightbox. Wired.com also did an excellent piece. As well as Metro, The Daily Mini and Petapixel.
