IDENTITY
With my identity project I felt I stuck to my theme well and went in depth with photoshoots & extra media I found for my project. With my images I feel I managed to take inspiration from my artist references without directly copying them, and managed to replicate the rock/grunge theme I was going for. However, if I could go back and redo this project I would make sure to have a wider range of photos in different locations, as I only captured images in few areas, and would’ve liked to have a variation of photos taken in different lighting and setting.
ANTHROPOCENE
My anthropocene project is my favourite I have done so far, i feel it went well because i took a wide range of photos in many different areas, and took my time going around making sure i took a lot of images to choose from. I enjoyed going around to the Waters Edge for my photoshoot and documenting my way around the hotel to try and replicate Paul Talling’s work, and for my other photoshoot by La Collette i feel i captured the theme of anthropocene well, and by editing the images in black and white it gave them the theme i was going for as i wanted to capture the darker, ‘ugly’ side of man-made buildings. If i could go back and redo this project i would put more focus into my images at La Colette, as they were taken on a phone so i felt i was not working to the best of my ability without a proper camera.
MY ROCK
This project features some of my best photos i’ve taken – focusing primarily on rock texture, i captured both colours and patterns hidden within the rocks around L’Etacq and stinky bay. I felt i used the camera to its full potential as i took around 300 photos from our school trip. I took photos with different lighting, angle and ISO to focus in on the detail within the rock faces. If i could’ve redone this photoshoot, i would’ve aimed to take photos from different viewpoints, as i didn’t take many photos of the rockface as a whole, so i would try to include a fuller landscape if i were to redo the project.
