1. Within my work, strengths and weaknesses are both present in their respective aspects. A strength that I thought I truly displayed throughout my work was creativity and attention to detail. For example, I think in my black and white finish photo and my geometric shape I took a lot more time to look into minute details which ended up bringing the whole idea of the photo together.
2. In future projects I might refine my approach by taking more time in experimenting with photoshop in order to find what truly assencuates the idea I have in mind. With Mrs.Otterbein’s help I was able to do this with my blurred background photo which is one of my favorites. I think if I took the time to do this within all of my projects they will turn out even better then they already do.
3. For my photo of the Oratory field while a gym class is in session with a black and white finish, I was hoping to convey the feeling of nostalgia. When you look at really old photos of almost anything, the picture has this beige-ish tint to it. I kept this in mind and mixed within just a normal black and white finish to give it that extra umph of a nostalgic feeling.
4. An element I would like to further explore would be blurring along with shading. I feel the combination of these two truly help annunciate space within a photograph. I think through correct guidance a person can transform a normal snapshot into a piece of fine art through blurring and shading with the understanding of space.
5. In my future projects I would like to try and experiment with blurring things more. I felt like I struggled with setting up my blurry background but with the help of Mrs.Otterbein I eventually got the hang of it. I found interest in other photos that took advantage of blurring and would like to try and imitate the style of those pictures.
