Review And Reflect-

Identity-

My first independent photography project ever as I had not taken GCSE Photography. I decided to explore my personal heritage and looked at photographers Dryden Goodwin and Carolle Benitah as artist references for the project. My final images were pretty limited as I had not taken as many pictures as I would have liked, however I do still like the end result.

Anthropocene-

I took a lot more pictures for this project so had a lot more to work from, I experimented a lot more with my editing style and tried to make images that are unique. I especially liked my work from the Havre Des Pas shoot, as I feel like these had some of my best edits. I chose Yao Lu and David Thomas Smith as my artist references and I especially liked my work inspired by Smith, using the same editing style in work past the Anthropocene project.

My Rock-

I enjoyed this project a lot and continued with shoots both in and out of school with even more experimental edits. I looked at David Hockney’s joiners as inspiration during a shoot and do like how the end result looks so might look at doing again in a future project.

Overall I have really enjoyed being able to use Lightroom and Photoshop to edit my images and develop my own photographic style. I enjoy alternating between portrait, landscape and object images as I enjoy shooting each in different ways.
