reflection

semester 1 reflection

In semester one I think my work quality was good overall. I thought out of the box with most of my assignments and I always took a lot a pictures for the assignments.  I do need to work on turning the assignments in a little more on time, some of them have gotten turned in a little late.

In my opinion, I put a lot of effort into the majority of my assignments in semester 1. There were a few that I slacked off in a little bit, but overall I put forth a lot of effort. I think I took a lot of risks and I put a lot of planning into my assignments.

My participation in class could’ve been a bit better, I wasn’t always on task or prepared. I usually was able to work independently however, if I needed help there was always someone willing to give me a hand. Most class periods I had everything I needed and I did a lot of work but the were a couple where I needed to do better.

Overall, I had a lot of improvement in semester 1. I am better at seeing something and creating an interesting image out of what I am given. I have discovered the certain themes and topics that interest me most in photography. My editing aspect has also improved a lot, my images look much better and are well edited more so than they used to be.

In the second semester I am going to try to work more efficiently and not wait to do my projects. I want to come up with the idea and do it as soon as I figure out my ideas. I also want to start utilizing all the time that is given to me. For example, I want to stay on task and productive during class and not take so many breaks. I would like to try to start working from bell to bell or at least until I am at a good place or done with the project.

A concept I’d like to work into a project is candid photos. I really enjoy capturing moments that weren’t planned or just moments that people didn’t expect to be captured. I’d like to be a wedding photographer in the future so photographing people or moments is really my favorite type of photography to do.
