Last day reflections

What did you learn about photography that you did not know before?

That a picture can tell a story and they can also be inspiring to some. Also the setting of the picture does matter depending on the lighting and where it is. You can use different objects and also use a models face as a "canvas" to get the story you want to tell in your photo.

What did you learn about yourself this semester?

That most of my photos actually reflect me as a person and tells people about myself instead of just seeing a plain old picture. I also learned that I enjoyed taking still life photos more than portraits of people. I think setting up the scene for the photo is fun. I do enjoy taking portraits though.

What do you wish we had done that we did not?

Using the film camera and printing the pictures in the dark room more. I really enjoyed seeing the photos develop when we did print in the dark room. It gives you the excitement of thinking if it turned out good, did it turn out bad, and how it looks.

What was your struggle?

Being able to take at least decent pictures for projects since I used my itouch as a camera, and getting inspiration for pictures. Also using photoshop was pretty difficult for me since I'm used to just doing little edits on my itouch.

What did you conquer?

I conquered the dislike of taking photos of myself. I just don't like being photographed in general, but I think it's kind of fun take portraits depending on how you decide the turn out for the photo will be.
