At the beginning of the semester, my goal was to improve my photography skills and learn how to take more advanced photos whether that be on a phone or a camera. I think I achieved that goal because I learned new techniques and became more confident with my camera. What inspires me to take photos is capturing moments that I want to remember because they are important to me. To me, being a photographer means capturing memories and moments that tell a story. I consider myself a photographer because I enjoy taking pictures and saving those memories. For time management, what worked best was taking photos whenever I saw a good opportunity. What didn't work as well was not always planning ahead. If I could do it differently, I would give myself more time to plan and experiment with different ideas. Feedback also helped me improve because positive feedback showed me my strengths, while constructive feedback helped me see what I could work on.
