The date has now arrived for me to submit my Project 1 work for my UTAS course. I have found even in the short time the course has been running, my outlook on how I take my photos has changed dramatically. I tend to be looking at the world around me in thirds, leading lines, complimentary colours and numerous other ways I never did before. I would love to hear any feedback you may have on my work so far.
Project 1
Not being a fan of the “selfie”, I asked some of my friends
if they were to take a photo of something that represented me, what would it
be? So that is what I started out to do and that is why I have chosen the
photos I am submitting. I also decided
that I would challenge myself and take all my photos for this course with my
iPhone rather than my DSLR.
Photo 1. The
suggestion was given to me to take a photo of something mysterious and a bit
crazy. After taking several simple shots of my face and choosing one, I then
played around with MultiExpo. I feel the red gives a bit of a crazy feel and
the reason I am showing just my eyes is to convey a bit of mystery.

Photo 2. Another
person gave me the suggestion of something fun. As it happened to be Christmas,
and I love Christmas and try and have a Christmas tree in each room of my house
I thought the Christmas bauble a good choice. I wanted my image to be a
secondary feature as the Christmas Tree is the main subject. I think the shot
shows how I feel about Christmas and the bright colours show the fun I get out
of life. This photo was modified using the app Moldiv which I had never used
before.

Photo 3. Quite a
few of my friends said I just had to include a photo that included my camera as
I don’t leave the house without it. I included this photo as I feel it shows
the real me doing something I truly love. I would class this shot as a self-portrait as
I directed another person in how to take the shot I wanted. I then modified the
shot using the Photo Editor app. Firstly creating a soft hazy light and then
softening the edges. This is my favourite photo of the three, I like the
softness the haze has given the overall feel of the photo. I also feel it
represents the message I was trying to convey.
