How successful was your final outcomes?

I am happy with the way my mounted outcomes turned out. I used a window mount and foamboard to mount my images. In my opinion, my images linking to the theme ‘femininity vs masculinity’ had a strong outcomes and they link back to my artist study, Justine Kurland. My environmental portraits came out better than I though they would as I wasn’t sure how the background I made, with all the surfboards would turn out. My least favourite images from the portrait project were the images I took in the studio because I found it hard to get the lighting correct at times. Overall, I would say that I have a strong range of final outcomes.

What references did you make to artists references?

comment on technical, visual, contextual, conceptual?

My artist reference was Justine Kurland and I was focusing on her ‘Girl Book’ images. I think that I managed to portray Kurland’s work in to mine and took inspiration from her images to build up an idea of my own. When comparing my images to Justine Kurland’s, I could see clear similarities such as taking the images in a rural area, getting the model to wear similar clothing to the ‘run away girls.’ I also wanted to capture the idea that girls can go out and explore instead of ding the stereotypical thing of staying at home. Overall, I think that my images linked back to Justine Kurland’s work but, the final outcomes would have been better if I had more than one model in the images.

– Is there anything you would do differently/ change etc?

For my Justine Kurland shoot I would have changed how many models I had as the images would of linked back more to her work. I also, would have left myself more time to get a second photoshoot done. I had a plan but didn’t have time to execute it.
