virtual gallery & evaluation

I have picked some of my top images from this project and placed them into a virtual gallery to this I used artsteps, I picked the layout of the gallery and decided where they should go, the photos I picked are the ones I have enjoyed taking and I love the outcome of them as they were all taken on film with the development process it was a bit hit and miss with the outcomes as I only had a certain amount of photos available on the film negative which limited me on the amount I could take meaning I have to take the photographs carefully.

I am happy with the outcome of this project and the shoots I have completed, all the photographs I have used are personal to me as they focus on my friendships and us having fun, whilst I was taking the photographs my intention was to capture people having fun, in places where we all enjoy which hold memories for the individuals, I have made links to the photographer Theo Gosselin as he captured people in their surrounds having fun in a beautiful almost calm setting which I have done to the best of my ability and like Gosselin I have used a film camera for this project which I think gives it a more authentic touch to it as the slight graininess to the photos suggests the photos haven’t been hyper-edited and have a natural feel to them. Within this exam I have enjoyed making the photo book as it is something I haven’t done before and I enjoyed the process of selecting and designing the look and presentation of the book however, if I was to do this project again I would try to get the resolution of the images higher so that I would have the ability to make them larger because due to the medium resolution of the photographs it limited my ability of how large I could make the images on the phonebook as it impacted how they would print.
