Final Evaluation

I found this project quite testing but very useful, I found I didn’t pay enough attention to the details during the shoot, so this has taught me to be patient and check all the details in a shot. I would take the photos then realise when I went to edit them the lighting was off or the object wasn’t completely centred. It made me look at the finer details within an object as well which is what Walker Evan’s intended in his work, which heavily influenced my work. The lack of background in the shots meant I had to really look at how the photo was composed and get the other elements very accurate to provide a solid, neat photo as if not the shot would be very unimpressive and look unfinished. Overall the project has taught me a lot and I have new skills and ideas can take onto more creative, different photoshoots in the future.

For this project I chose my best shots and put them in a virtual gallery, I chose to place all the shots on one wall as I liked the idea that all the shots taken in the same way would be presented in the same way. By having a single colour background and no frames also takes away from the idea of the presentation being too busy. I chose the shots that I thought were the best after editing, many of them have an off white background so by keeping the gallery wall off white it helps contrast the photos and show off the details which is what this style is all about.

Here is my photoshoot part of nostalgia, These photos represent what I wanted to be like when I grow up. When I was younger I’ve always wanted to be older and grow up quickly. These photos represent what I wanted to be when I was younger and what I have become now.

Some of my photos where a bit blurry and the camera didn’t really focus, net time I would like to take my time and really explore the photo and the way the objects are presented. I could also make the lighting different by adding a colder, more bold look. However I do really like how I’ve used a warm tone lighting as the objects really represent the vibe.

overall I think my photoshoot went really well and really helped me understand what nostalgia and still life is. I got a better understanding of each concept which allows me to expand my ideas and thoughts into a planned photoshoot. Throughout my photos I believe that my photos almost look like an advert or a presentation.

This is my best photo as it has reflections and different lighting, I really like how the colours blend together and they represent the fall season with all the darkish but warm tones.

In photography, I use a DLSR Canon camera to take photos. I use this camera to ensure the quality is good and makes the photos better than an iPhone. This camera is extremely beneficial for photography as it allows me to change the shutter speed, ISO and aperture.

The shutter speed is the length of time from the moment the shutter opens and this then allows light into the camera. A fast shutter speed will create a short exposure whether as a slower shutter speed will create a long exposure because the shutter is open for a longer period of time which allows more light into the camera. The aperture is the opening of the lens’s diagram through which light passes through. Having a smaller aperture creates a sharper image. The ISO ( International standard organization) is an image sensitivity in a numerical value. Having a higher ISO can lower the quality of your photo and degrade is which will cause your photos to be grainy or “noisy”.

What is photo literacy?

Superficially, it can refer to the ability to “read” a photograph, to analyze its form and meanings. Photoliteracy is therefore a particular understanding that combines visual, linguistic, emotional and physical precision.
