Out of the ten photos that we were shown, my favorite one was the image of the woman with the children surrounding her. When I first saw the photo, my initial thoughts where it was extremely intriguing and I wanted to know more about it. I really like the way the photographer edited the photo into black and white. It creates an atmosphere of war and hurt. The woman’s staring into the distance which also makes the image very intriguing. It seems like there’s a story behind the image with the setting and the emotional feelings behind the photo.
WORSE PHOTO
The photo that I disliked the most out of the ten was the photo with the woman at the seaside. My initial thoughts to the image is that it may have been taken as an accident, because the woman is not positioned very well, and there are things coming into the shot that shouldn’t be there. There’s a lot of color within this image that I do like, but the whole setting and style I don’t like. It makes me feel like I don’t understand what the photographer was trying to do.
INTERESTING PHOTO
My most interesting photo was the very last one, with the guy looking down towards the floor with a large cut on the top of his head. It made me feel slightly sick with the cut, but I was also interested because i wanted to know why he had the cut, and the reasons to why the photographer was taking his photo.

Welcome to AS Photography at Hautlieu School. The aim of this course is to encourage you to think and act in a creatively expressive way. You will learn how to apply a range of lens-based skills to a set of challenges and assignments. We expect you to work hard and constructively critique the work of others as well as your own.
We will discuss your approach to the AS Summer task in the first week of term, and this will form the starting point for the unit itself. Be prepared to show your photography and engage in discussing your classmates’ images too…it will be an open and friendly forum designed to push your ideas and improve your skills with a camera.
