Review

I am relatively happy with the practical work that I have done so far, as I have explored a range of different ideas surrounding the theme of issues. I feel that however, some shoots have been more successful than others such as the environmental shoot I did I don't feel was entirely successful in showing the environment around us changing that well. Although I managed to enhance the photos on Photoshop by using effects such as tilt-shift and selective colour I don't think the message they are trying to portray is as striking as some of my other shoots. Because of this, I feel that I will concentrate more heavily on studio work as I generally will have less control on the surroundings and the content of my shoots if I decide to do any further locational.
I am happy with the shoot I did on self-harm as I feel that this is quite a significant issue in society, and I think that it is clear what it is trying to show. This was the second shoot I did where I took photos of myself, which I am possibly the most happy with which is why I will continue to do more studio shoots to also develop my knowledge further with using the studio. The very first shoot that I did I am happy with, I think that it was successful in showing alcoholism and I think that doing the shoot where I did, and the editing that I put on this made it an effective shoot. I will next be concentrating on doing personal body issues which I will be shooting in the studio.
