Over the course we have looked at many different artists and photographic techniques which helped me gain a greater understanding of the camera and my preferred style of photography.
These are some of my favourite projects I have done and work I created:
Environmental portraits:
For this project I got to explore people in their natural surroundings and delve into aspects such as their careers and hobbies whilst also photographing people in a casual setting.
This enabled me to capture people in a comfortable setting and using the image to tell a story about the subject.
Clare Rae inspired shoot:
This shoot enabled me to step outside of my comfort zone and experiment with a more quirky and unique aesthetic which in my opinion was worthwhile as I made many successful outcomes.
Girl pictures:
This project was inspired by Justine Kurland’s book ‘Girl Pictures’ and I used a similar style and concept to create my own images. I really enjoyed this project as i found it was quite nostalgic to take pictures of my friends and document their lives and what they get up to. I also think during this project I created lots of successful outcomes and allowed me to experiment in shooting documentary style images which I have now realised is one of my preferred styles of photography.
