Reflection
I have learned a lot in these last two years as a photography student. I started only knowing how to use a point and shoot. I now feel comfortable using a basic DSLR. In this term of photography I think my creativity increased and is displayed through the work I have created in the last few months. My idea of photography has changed since this term since I explored portraits a lot more than in the past terms. This has led me to become more comfortable in working in a studio environment as in the past I have preferred to take more environmentally based photos. I’ve learned that you don’t need to stage portraits, as candid shots can sometime turn out the best depending on the scenario. I now have stronger skills contributing to my composure of photos. I feel most confident in the idea that I have the ability to create great photos with and/ or without the use Photoshop; I feel a sense of pride in my recent work. Overall in these last few months I feel that my work has gained a more mature and creative view since my ideas have become more open minded.
