Now that it’s over, what are my first thoughts about this overall project? Are they mostly positive or negative?

I found the photographers interesting and the topic interesting, however I do not like my blog posts much and feel that they turned out different to what I expected.

What were some of the most interesting discoveries I made while working on this project?

I found Rania Matar’s A Girl and Her Room interesting, how she compares the American life to the Middle East.

What were the challenges?

My Alec Soth photo shoot was difficult to organise because I needed to organise it along side my dad as he drove me to Corbiere.

What most got in the way of my progress if anything?

My organisation because I left everything to a few days before the exam.

What did I learn were my greatest strengths?

Greatest strength was when in the exam conditions I worked well with the time I had.

What would I do differently if I were to approach the same problem again?

I would make sure to prepare more before the exam and give myself less work so that I had time to do extra things or try to improve the quality of my work further and go into things with more detail.

What can I improve?

I could have done a third photo shoot with the photographer i looked at where I was planning to do a collage with new and old photos to make my final outcomes more interesting.

How will I use what I have learned in the future?

I will get more organised earlier before the exam.

Set yourself some targets for moving your photography forward. These could be skills based, analytical understanding, written analysis, organisation, blog post structure.

I would take more photos and act on all the things I said I was going to do.
