I am very happy with the final outcomes of my exam project, I am happy with the way that the project had developed and how it has helped me as a photographer. At the beginning of the project I planned to look at the variety of landscapes with changes in the time, weather, and perspective but I feel that focusing on a harder topic such as the sublime pushed me further. At first I was struggling of how to go about photographing this concept and how to view the world in a different way. But then I found the photographer of Laura El Tantawy her work inspired me massively, with her unique perspectives on every situations. I really liked the boldness and how abstract but yet artistic her images where at the same time.

I then found the photographer of Rinko Kawauchi, who’s work really helped to shape the outcome of my project. Her images are very spiritual and purse and have this sense of delicacy to them which is very hard to convey in photographs but come very naturally to her. I mainly looked at her book ‘Illumiance’ to see her way of viewing the world.

I feel that the book focuses on the elements but within that is about stopping and viewing the beauty within the everyday world. But personally for me represent a journey for me not only as a photographer in regards to my photographic skills, but being able to change the focus of my images to a topic that I have never really looked at before. I feel that this shown in the book not only by the images themselves but through the visual stimulants in the book such as the boat, the plane, the sky and the trees as all of these things are growing or moving in some way.

If I were to do the proejct again I would look at more photographers in depth and do more photo shoots inspired by their works as I feel that it would have increased the diversity in the style of the images that I have taken. If I had started focusing on this idea from the beginning of the project I might had created a video to go along side the project and assist it in its overall meaning. But I am very happy with what I have created.
