How successful were my final outcomes?

My final images were not as strong as I hoped hey would be. I used a lot of foamboard to mount my images as I wanted theme to stand out which i feel window mounts don’t do as well. a few of my images ended up with minor scratches as i did not take enough care when cutting and framing. however i do feel as though my images were somewhat similar to joseph Barretts which was my aim as i found his portraiture very interesting when shown alongside his explanation.

Is there anything I would do differently?

I would spend more time doing blog post which correlate to my work as i have very little evidence of the journey of my photos. I also need to take more photos as i do not have valid contact sheets with vast amounts of images, this is due to my habit of deleting images if I do not like them however sometimes it is better to have the images that did not work so well as it can help me learn from my mistakes

Evaluation on the whole project:

Overall i enjoyed portraiture however i do not feel like it was my strong suits as i prefer more creative and urban stances and i feel I didn’t express these in my final images because i limited myself to only using the studio and played it quite safe with my images which made the come out as quite dull and boring and not the most interesting pieces.

However i did enjoy using the different forms of lighting and i believe it has improved my photography skills in and out of the studio as i am now more conscious about the lighting and how the light is reflected.

i also enjoyed the masculinity vs femininity side of it as it is something i like to think about anyway and i had the opportunity to have some great final images however i don’t think i met the bar i was expecting
