Final Evaluation

Overall I think this project was a hard but still quite an enjoyable one. I struggled to complete it as I had problems with work as well as family problems. I tried my best to get it completed before deadline but I found it very stressful and I could not concentrate on it at all because of other things going on in  my life.

If I had a chance to start this project again, from the scratch, I'm sure I would be able to give it my 100 % and make it better than it is now. I'm not too happy about the come out that's why I will try my best to do better in the next project,

It was quite a long project but because it was over Christmas and New Years Eve break, it felt like we didn't have as much time to complete everything. I think I personally prefer shorter projects that require me focusing on one task for a short period of time and finishing everything within maximum two weeks.

During the project I've learned some more stuff about taking photographs of glass and I improved my darkroom skills. To edit my photos I didn't have a chance to use PhotoShop so I used different softwares on my laptop to manipulate my photos of glass. I think it worked quite good and doesn't look any worse than when I do it in PhotoShop but because of that I didn't have a chance to improve my skills and I didn't learn how to use PhotoShop to manipulate photos properly.

Manipulating


 To create this image, I used the mirror effect but I used it twice that's why the image has 4 "sides". I also changed the saturation, brightness and exposure. I like it because it's a good example of image manipulation. It was also my first time doing it so I was just trying new things.


This is a photo of a glass with beer in it. I decided to use similar effects as in the first one because I thought it looked good. The only thing I did differently is, I've used a filter and in the first one I didn't. I like the way the liquid is a little bit blurry but the rest is very clear.


This one is my favourite as it's very abstract and unusual. To edit all the photos I used the same editing tool so they seem very similar but I tried to make each one a little bit different. I like it because it looks manipulated but at the same time it's still very beautiful and interesting.

Planning

I've planned on doing my photoshoot in Bradford. I picked a few different locations as well as some objects that reflect the names of the albums that I've picked. 

I want to photograph a piece of building and a wall, a destroyed wall and a drink with cream in it. I wanna use some artificial lighting to help me improve my images. 
I will also use different angles. Two of my photos will be taken outside and one of them inside. I will take all my photos during the day and it shouldn't take too long. 
I will have to buy a drink with cream in it so it should cost about £3 for a whole photoshoot.
