WHAT WENT WELL

Overall I think my final outcomes were done well because i wasn’t rushed for time, and spent about 1-2 hours on each photoshoot which i think in the end really benefit me especially because it gave me a wider range of photos to choose from. Out of the two photoshoots i feel that the 2nd one was my strongest as it had a good range of location lighting and objects and i managed to capture the fascination i had in the hotel in my images. I think editing really helped make my photos better for both shoots as i played with colour exposure and texture to help make my piece stand out and showcase the detail put into my photos.

Another thing that I think went well was the standard of my final images, as none of them turned out blurry or shaky – in some instances i had to use flash as it was too dark to secure a good image but even then it turned out well and gave me the desired effect, however the ones i didn’t take with flash also turned out well especially for photoshoot 1 as the darker lighting helped me build on my theme of industrial architecture.

CRITIQUE

Although the majority of my images turned out well, one thing i felt faulted me was the fact i didn’t have a working camera for the first photoshoot so i had to use my phone, which meant some of my photos ended up out of focus or shaky and could’ve turned out better if i had used a camera. I also felt like with photoshoot 1 since using a phone i didn’t end up with much variation in the texture of my images. If i were to do it again I wouldn’t use my phone unless it was a daytime photoshoot because the quality doesn’t end up as good if the photos are taken during the night.
