So far, I’ve really enjoyed the Home project. I’ve learned a lot more about editing than I did at GCSE and I’ve experimented with many new types of compositions, such as the still life work, which I’m very proud of and I’m excited to hopefully revisit it in the future. I found still life to be a pretty versatile topic for creating photographs with, and especially with the available equipment in the studio, it gave me a chance to experiment with lighting and different tones that I didn’t have before.

I thought that the photomontage work we did with our final images worked quite well, and it’s definitely something I can see myself revisiting later in the course with new and stronger ideas.

I wasn’t too excited about the work we did with Mary Ellen Bartley and her ‘7 Things Again & Again’ series, but I also think it was quite a good introduction to basic photography and working with lighting and props in a composition.

I quite enjoyed the work with Walker Evans and Darren Harvey-Regan, as I found it very engaging with my own life and the objects in my home. It was also a nice introduction to photomontage using photoshop, which is a technique I hope to use when relevant.
