Strongest work
Environmental Portraits
I think this project produced some good-quality images even though it was the first project we had to do alone as it was a homework task. I liked the freedom I got during this project as we were able to pick where and who were photographed, I also think that it allowed me to be more creative with my images and try and go out of my comfort zone with talking and photographing different people. This project really interested me as portraiture is one of my favourite photography styles.
Portraiture
Above are images from my portrait project which I found that I enjoyed as I like having a model that was able to move around I found that I was able to portray more emotions through portraits than in my other projects. I found that most portraits, when trying to get a dramatic look, are better in black and white rather than in colour. Furthermore, I liked experimenting with the different shadows that could be created by placing the lights at different angles around the studio.
Identity
My identity project, was the most interesting and my favourite project to work on, as I got to use a lot more of the editing and technology side of photography. For my final images above I used photoshop which helped me to experiment and expand my knowledge of the software and I think that my pictures came out really well. I enjoyed this project as I also got to learn and hear a lot more about my parents and extended family. Further, I really liked having and transforming old images into newer versions of themselves with some added features. For my personal study, I think I will take inspiration from the editing of my identity project and it was one of the main features that I liked working on during this time.
Islandness
La Hocq
Plemont
Stinky Bay
My islandness project, I believe was one of my strongest as I have become more comfortable with the camera and have developed my skills throughout year 12 and into year 13. I liked this project as i was able to visit different places around Jersey and I had the freedom to photograph what I liked instead of being as restricted. I found that I could have been more creative with some of my final images as I didn’t take enough photos and struggled on how to edit them. Overall I found that the final photos that I produced are aesthetic and make a good final product.
