Photography 1 FINAL REFLECTION

Photography was mainly a positive experience for me. There were some instances where I got frustrated when I was doing the project and processing the film, but I persevered and they always turn out good. I believe that my work has improved and I have definitely learned more about photography through this semester. You can see in my photos that they first started out pretty basic with not a lot of editing. As the time went on I used more editing and pictures became more advanced. This is evident when you look at my textures and detail photo that was taken about a month later. You can see in these photos that my knowledge of editing and digital photography. That is just after one month. My knowledge improved even more as time went on we learned how to create amazing photos with the app photoshop through digital photography. After a couple more weeks, I had learned how to add multiplicity to my image. to have multiple subjects while using the same one in the same photo. This also shows how my editing and digital photography has improved and developed throughout the semester.

I think throughout this whole semester the hardest part of Photography 1 was getting the hang of processing and rolling the film without being able to see your roll of film. The first two rolls of films were the hardest. Even with all of the practice rolls, it was even harder and more stressful, but as the projects went on I started o get the hang of it. By the third project I started to get better and by the last roll, I felt like I was a master. Another thing that I felt a bit challenging was creating the multiplicity portrait images. I had to do it over and over and it wasn't working, whenever I tried to do anything it would glitch, but eventually I got the hang of it.

I am most proud of my silhouette collection of images. This was the best collection of images throughout the whole semester to take. The images were fun to take and they actually came out really well. I thought I understood the assignment and it all turned out nicely. My images can represent me as an artist as well. Some of my strengths and weaknesses varied but I think that the as you look through my collections you see that I was growing as an artist. As I learned more my work started to improve and I learned so much about artists, film photography, digital photography, and photoshop. Overall this semester has been a great learning experience and I really enjoyed taking Photography 1.
