Final Evaluation

Fashion Research:
I have grown to enjoy researching other photographers and their work. It gives me  opportunities to discover very talented individuals. I also enjoy finding out about the techniques they use and what kind of photography they specialise in.

Street Fashion:
As I am a person who enjoys fashion in my personal life, I already had ideas in what I my street fashion to look like. I really enjoyed going out and paying close detail to what people were wearing day to day and talking to people. It also give us a good chance to work with fabric and see how it photographs well.

High Key - Low Key:
I wasn't familiar with high and low key lighting until this task. Although I'd seen it before I never knew the name or knew what both were intended to be used for. This is when idea's of what I wanted to achieve in my final images and what type of lighting I wanted to use.

Studio Attachments: 
With the high and low key lighting, I didn't know too much about studio therefore, this was a chance for myself to become familiar with the different attachments and what sort of lighting they created. This enable me to start building a plan of what I'd need to achieve the ideas that I already had.

Fashion Magazine Research:
Again, as I am a person who is interested in fashion, I had a rough idea of what type of vibe I wanted for my final images and what magazine my images were a part of. Nonetheless, I enjoyed researching fashion magazines and discovering different magazines I hadn't heard of before. Also, it gave my a chance to look at magazines I wouldn't typically look at.

Planning:
Planning is always a struggle for me as I like to think of stuff and just do it. I don't like writing them down however, I didn't find that planning for this shoot as draining as the others. I think this is because I really enjoyed these units and it was the first time I was able to bring stuff I already knew into my work.

Studio shoot:
The Studio shoot was definitely my favourite part of this full project. It was nice to get a feel of the studio and work in a more professional environment. It also gave me a chance to be in charge and give me a feel of what it's going to be like as a real photographer.

Accessories:
Shooting accessories was really fun. Not having a limited time in the smaller cover gave me an opportunity to experiment with different angles  and got us a lot more familiar with using the studio lights.

Exposure research:
This was probably the most draining task for me personally. However, when in the studio you need to know what you're doing, including the settings you need to be on. Therefore, it was necessary.

 Hats the Way:
Hats the way was very fun shooting. We didn't have such a strict time limit and therefore had a much more relaxed feel to the full day.

Umbrella:
Again, the umbrella shoot gave us an opportunity to work in a more professional environment and the  more the better. I really enjoy using the studio as the finish to the images look much more clean and professional than on location in my opinion however, I think I may use location a lot more in the future and experiment with lighting that can be used on location.

Magazine design: 
The design element I really enjoyed. I had a lot of different images to choose from and a lot of different layouts and colours that could be incorporated into my work. I loved experimenting with photoshop and becoming more familiar with it.

Throughout this project I've learnt a lot. From different lightings and attachments. To how to use studio lights and work in a professional environment. I also liked how I was able to apply my knowledge of fashion into this project so I wasn't so lost from task to task. It has heightened my determination to become a fashion photographer.
