I am now going to evaluate my work. Throughout taking pictures and editing images, I have learnt a lot. My images would be seen by an audience from 15-40 as the contents will be very scary and not suitable for too young or too old. Also some pictures include buildings so this could be quite boring for younger people. I actually think boys would read this more than girls, i reckon boys will enjoy looking at the images more. The context includes some popular culture involved otherwise it is all nature and architectural.

My images were taken all over Harlow, mainly on the way to a club outside of college. So i took pictures along the way there and back. I then took images on the way to town which came out really dark but they were very good.

My creative skills have grown, I reckon because working independently on these tasks has helped me to understand the full meaning of pictures and why we take them. I have also learnt how to use PhotoShop properly, enough to let me edit the things i wanted to which helped.  I am amazed that didn’t struggle with the camera out of college, with my friends too.

I had to plan when i was going to take the camera out and then decide what category i was going to take pictures of. I took a while on deciding as i really didn’t know what to choose so in the end i took picture of everything to do with all categories so i could choose at the end and see what people recommended would be better.I wanted to take pictures of everything because i couldn’t decide between portraits and landscapes mainly so this module helped me get an idea of what i like taking pictures of.

I have shown people in my class aged 16-19 years of age my images and collected feedback. Most people liked this image the most as it is bright and colourful. They weren’t too sure how I took this image and how I edited it. They liked the setting and thought it was a clever idea.

Most people thought this picture was pretty, very red and bright. Looked like it would be decorative and set a perfect scene.

Some people thought that this image was difficult to work out and understand. That it is really scary and haunted. They said that it looks dangerous and that no one should go there.

I think as a photographer my strengths are that i have more knowledge of using PhotoShop and that i am more capable of taking good, detailed pictures now. I understand why people take detailed pictures to represent certain things or to show emotion and effect. I reckon my weaknesses as a photographer would be that I am not perfectly ready to use PhotoShop, I can’t create amazing pictures just yet but I’m sure i can keep learning. I also don’t think my skills with a camera are excellent so i’d have to keep practicing.

So overall i think i have done really good, i have fell behind at times and caught up. I am proud of my work, i reckon it is good. I never though i would do architectural/urban landscapes for a magazine genre of pictures. These images would be used in magazines, possibly galleries as these could be known as spooky art or even newspapers to show the areas of Harlow at night. I don’t think these images would be used in books because they just wouldn’t be suitable.
