EVALUATION

For my minor brief we had to create our own practical assignment to be planned and structured by ourself. The area of Photography I decided to specialise in was Digital Portraits through the use of Colour. Through the past few months I have developed my knowledge and understanding of fine art photography by researching and spending a lot of time within a professional studio.

I have developed my technical skills by using photoshop and the new Phase 1 camera - although I decided to use the Hasselblad for my final images I explored using different cameras to finally realise I felt most comfortable using the Hasselblad.

I began shooting in the studio being quite broad minded as I did not have what I wanted to do set in stone, However I knew that I wanted my images to be colour related.

The more time I spent in the studio the more I started to enjoy what I was doing, and therefore started feeling like I was accomplishing something I enjoy.

After I had been in the studio various times I felt pretty confused about the amount of photographs I had and struggled quite a lot to narrow them down to ones I felt were good enough to be potential final images.

I also come to realise its a lot better to have more photographs to choose from than less, As well getting my friends and teachers opinions and advice steered me into the right direction which enabled me to be deadly sure about what final photographs I wanted to select.

Having the opportunity to create our own brief has taught me that I need to be more organised, in terms of time management and planning.

Overall, I am pleased with my final photographs, however, If I was to re-do the full Minor brief I would have printed the images really large and maybe even selected a few less.
