Final Evaluation

Final Evaluation.

My preparatory shoots helped point me in the direction that I really wanted my photography to go, I'm glad we did them otherwise I wouldn't have liked the outcome that I had for this exam as it is always a trial and error basis with creative subjects. 

My research on Lisa Milroy and my research from my preparatory shoots have influenced my final series by helping me discover what works for my style of photography on the subject of framing devices. Trying to recreate other artists work such as Saul Leiter, helped me to realise what I wanted to do within the exam, and what I could realistically do and how I could realistically make my photos look good using both digital and physical editing. I feel like I have learnt that you do not always need to use a tripod, even though i am quite shakey, for me using my own two hands helps give my photographs character and gives it a personal touch. I was really inspired by Aitkens work and I'm glad I got to try putting multiple pictures that connect together like his. All of my photographs are taken from my own height giving it a more realistic feel instead of being head on to the subject, it can make the audience more immersed in my photos as it would be what they could see from real life. 

I think I was quite successful in responding to the exam, I think all of my pictures are very good and I'm especially happy with my collage of natural frames. The things I would like to improve on is understanding camera settings and which settings work well with others and editing my pictures properly, eg contrast, toning etc. because then I can make my images look even better.
