1st semester reflection

Quality Of Work   I do not have a professional camera, but i make sure the pictures I take on my phone are in good quality. The composition and contrast in my photos are good and I make sure they are not blurry. I always have my work turned in on time, and put it in the proper format. The first semester, I had a hard time going beyond my first ideas. I thought that I had photos and no more were needed. That is something I want to work on in the second semester. I want to go above and beyond.

Effort    I try to take photos when I can, wherever I go. Whatever the setting, I am always taking pictures. However, when I take photos, I tend to only shoot the bare minimum. If a shot is hard to take, I always try to get it and if I can't then I won't bother with it anymore. When looking at other students artwork I always have a positive outlook and point out what I like about it. I feel like I tend to critique my own work more than other peoples. I see places where I messed up my photoshop and where I could have fixed small things, like lighting.

Participation    I am always on time for class, if not a few minutes early. I use my time wisely and make to sure to finish my projects in the given class times. Some times I tend to slack off and that is also something I wish to fix in the second semester. If I finish a project early in class, I look at my friends projects and see if they need help on anything.

Improvement    I have definitely improved since the beginning of the year. At the beginning, I had no idea had to work photoshop, but now I know all the basics and can complete all of my projects with no problem.

Adjustment    I want to try to expand my creativity and not rely on my first ideas. I also want to try to get harder shots and not give up on the first try. 




Suggestion - I think we should do an assignment where we photograph our day. On the weekend at every event you go to take  a picture and then put them into a collage.

Letter to my past self

To be successful in photography you need to put as much effort as you can into your work. Use up class time to your advantage. Never settle for your first idea, as it is probably the most basic one you have. It might not be a bad idea, but if it's your first thought other people might have thought of it to. Alway's take your time when taking pictures and be patient when working with photoshop, especially the cut out tool. Overall, you need to take your time and think about what you are going to do for a while. But most importantly, you need to have fun with it and be creative. Let your creativity show. This is a piece I did a while ago. I think it is successful, because instead of just taking the pictures and being done with it, I put them together into a collage. It's little things like this that will make your work stand out and show how much thought you put into it.
