Final Step

Throughout my time doing photography, I have learned that it really is one of my passions that I want to take on for a career. I came into it of just thinking it is just a class, but once I started to look into photos with more perspective, I realized photography is an amazing art. So then I saved up for a good camera and bought myself one and was so confused on how to use it properly. Throughout time I started to get the hang of it but was learning; and to this day I am still learning and I garunantee that I will still be learning to make my photographs get better and better. But I have realized that, my favorite style of photography are portraits. I love photographing people, either in still motion or in action. I have done people senior portraits and grad portraits so my name is getting out there for my portrait photography. And I know how to do the basic portraits but I am trying to make my portraits more unique as I go forward. Plus I noticed I love to do macro photos too because I like when my photos are focused on one thing. It draws my eye to photographs the most so I wanted to take over that style. But who knows, I may find another style to take on and exceed; but I am pleased of how my work has been coming along and motivated to make it my photography outstanding.

Re-Do of Side Lighting

After

Before

A. What project did you choose to revisit?

I chose to revisit this project because looking back through my old projects I thought this was my weakest project. But I loved the idea of the whole thing so I wanted to try it again.
B. What was it about this project that drew you to re-do it?
Well side lighting to me now is very unique to me and dramatic so I wanted to try it out with a different perspective this time. Lighting is my favorite this to experiment with for photos so that really helped me make my decision.C. How did approach the project differently? Or not? Why?
I decided that for side lighting, you don't just need to photograph people so I decided to to use other objects that would show character. 
D. How do new photographs differ from the first time you photographed the project/subject?
My new photos look more sharp than the old ones (my old ones looked very blurry). Also I decided to keep them in color and for each one, I gave them all a slight tint of color that I thought would complement the subject.
E. What have you learned ABOUT YOUR OWN WORK from revisiting the project?
That I am able to improve greatly by still experimenting with my camera, subjects, and lighting. Like the old saying, "practice makes perfect". 

B. Ask that person the following questions:(Nick)
-How do the two different versions of the project/subject differ?

"Did the shadows differently, more obscure!"
-Which group (past or current) of photographs are you more drawn to, and why?

"The current ones because they stick out more than the ones before"-What questions do you have for how/why/what/where/when/etc. do you have about the project/subject. (Use your "Reading A Photograph" questions if you are bereft of inquisitive thought).

"Why did you take pictures with a different angle/lighting/subjects. Not complaining though!"
