First shoot-learning the camera
Using different angles and directions
Self evaluation
I liked most of this photo shoot, I found it hard trying to get focused shots as I was still getting used to working the camera and learning the right controls. I did some different angles and camera shots, I seemed to like down low-angle shots through the grass. It was hard shooting inside as it was dark and I had to start using the flash for it to focus properly.

Self-evaluation
I felt like I had more control of the camera during this shoot, I spend most of my time photographing outside and focusing on the landscape and farming. I started doing different conventions and camera shots like depth of field and low angles, I also liked trying to work with shadows and use of lines. I liked working with my artist model Mark Adams, I just needed to explore this more in my shoots.

Self-evaluation
This was not a good shoot, I was very rushed and not put together well at all. I wasn't able to use any objects from my own farm to connect this work with my theme. I need to reshoot this shoot and try to use my artist models to the best use and explore more through my photographs. I think I would do this in the shed at home, and try to do some still life with the old farm objects in the yards. I think this will then correctly connect with my theme and portfolio.

Using Colourful objects to fill the background in.

Self Evaluation
I did various different shoots for this still life, I did one at school and two different shoots at home. I liked my last shoot of the still life in the shed with the old rusty farm objects. I also liked the shoot with the red fence connectors and wire but the lighting was too dark and didn't create a nice shoot overall. I also did like the shoot at school with the use of shadows, but I would like to try to connect all my ideas and create a stronger shoot all together and try to do this again at home.
