SELF PORTRAIT REFLECTION

In my LO-FI self-portrait I presented myself through character traits, lifestyle choices and personal opinions. I captured objects and situations around me that were relatable rather than constructing situations myself. Other people in my group opted to capture situations with a bit more thought. They were well constructed, succinct ideas relating to their personalities.

Operating under the different caps was an effective way to gain feedback where we might not have normally received it. Everyone gets nervous when being put on a pedestal. I am happy enough to present myself to the world though because I encourage criticism. It creates growth. My group mentioned that I could touch up my photography skills and create scenes better representing my attributes more so than my opinions. This is what I want to focus on.

If I were to do this task again, I would certainly put more thought into the photographs particularly. I need to learn to be more concise in my photography. I would like to be able to let the photographs do the talking rather than explaining what the photographs mean.

For the next project, I am going to take on board what my peers said and try and create something in more depth and with more flair.
