I love taking photos of anything and everything. At family events, birthdays, etc capturing candid moments is the best. My future direction in photography is a bright one. I think I will never stop taking photos and will continue to share them with people. Here are some of my favourite photos that I took this year in Photography 11. There were plenty more photos, but a lot of them are stored on the school computer, so these are mostly photos I took at home in second semester. Hope you enjoy!

Final reflection:

What part of your finished portfolio did you find most successful and why?

I think the colour theme portraits were the most successful. The photos in my opinion look like they were shot professionally, which is something I am very proud of. It also allowed me to think as a photographer and artist together in setting up the background and picking the poses. I think this assignment helped me become more aware of colours and the endless possibilities of photos you can take in your own home!

What part of your finished portfolio did you find least successful and why?

Being honest there isn’t much I would change about these photos, I love them all. But if I had to pick on one small thing it would probably be the camera quality. At school we have amazing professional cameras, but these photos above were taken from my cellphone.

If you had the time, what project would you like to redo and why?

I think I would redo the negative space assignment. I haven’t included any photos from there into this portfolio, but I think after that assignment I got a better understanding of how to use negative space to enhance the so called “star” of the photo – with the other assignment we did on using negative space and texture in portraits.

Any final thoughts?

My final thoughts are that I am really glad I took Photography as an elective because I learned many new skills. Those could be about taking an amazing picture using photography techniques, or just learning more about the camera and its complex settings. – I also had a really great teacher, thank you Mr.Drysdale !
