ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITS
I believe I thoroughly researched my inspirations and lead photoshoots with intention- collecting a vast array of images. If I could redo this project I would be more experimental with my photoshoots, looking back I’ve found some images to be quite interesting but others, plain and boring- I could also improve my image selection process.
IDENTITY
As the first main project we did, this is one of my favourite sets of images. I created a 3 sets of 3 images- each of which had its own photoshoot in different locations. I really liked this project and if I could redo it I would play with the use of colour, I feel like I was overusing black and white and it would have been interesting to play with colour.
ANTHROPOCENE
I struggled with this project as I found the subject matter quite uninteresting, I did enjoy conducting the photoshoots as they involved visiting abandoned buildings however the images generated from these photoshoots, although fitting to the theme of Anthropocene, were quite plain and uninspired.
MY ROCK
I did not really enjoy this project as I don’t really enjoy taking landscape images as I find them quite boring, all my images were in black and white which to me made them look quite dramatic however this project didn’t massively interest me so I feel like I was not trying as much to create good images.
ZINE
I believe my zine was very successful, as my first instance of experimenting with colour and abstract style images which were of rockpools. It was this project which enabled me to further practise using colour in images as previous to this my images were primarily black and white- with quite plain compositions- this project was very helpful within learning how to use natural light to my advantage and how to emphasis and arrange images with colour.
PERSONAL PHOTOBOOK PROJECT
My photobook project I believe was quite successful, using the skills I learnt when creating my Zine I concentrated on colour, light and abstract images except with a larger variety of main subjects in images (not just concentrating on still subjects) I believe this was successful as I used a variety of skills which I had learnt from my previous projects including using studio lighting (for images such as pressed flowers).
