In this week’s lecture we’re briefed on the studio presentations and then we’re asked to do a reflection graph. I don’t know how people could draw those incredibly complex graphs with ups and downs but this is how I have feel like my skilled have been developing. My tech skills have definitely become stronger ever since I started this course.…

Photoshoot no.4
So finally it’s not my face anymore! My friend Kris came around and I asked him to pose for me. He’s got some modeling experience so he knew what to do. I did not have to tell him where to put his hands or turn his head, he just knew it. See that’s the difference between a pro and an…
And another one!!
Hey I hope you have not gotten tired of my face yet. But bare with me if you have because I honestly need to practice my skills on myself before I take photographs of anyone else. I need to develop a proper relationship with my camera before I go further with others elements. So this time I decided to use…
So here comes the second shoot.
So yay here’s another photoshoot. I took these a week after the last one and I decided to go natural haha. They look kinda horrible to me but I’m going to stay honest with you because I really want to document the progress of my skills. The set up was pretty much the same as last time, with a desk…

However, I took photography in high school and have still got some knowledge. So one day I just decided that maybe it’s time for me to actually get into photography. I just got my…

Week 9 Reading
This week’s reading is ‘Does Literacy Media Backfires?‘ by danah boyd. Boyd mentioned that people are now trained to believe that the information on Google is legitimate but not that on Wikipedia and I do relate to this statement a lot. I do find myself searching on Google whenever I’ve got some questions. Theoretically, if you’re not feeling well and search…
PB4 – Final Edit & Reflection
It’s been hell of a ride making PB4 and missing a team member has definitely made it harder. However, working with Joanna was an absolute pleasure as she was innovative and hard working. Getting things done in time is her aesthetic. Starting off with researching, we were stuck in the mindset of doing something specifically including the work ‘attention’, and…
Week 12 Workshop
In this week’s workshop, we had guests to check out our rough cuts of PB4 and give us feedbacks. Earlier this week we decided on our topic and that is Nudity and Objectification of Women in the Media. And we wanted to pose the argument ‘is female nudity for sexual attention or artistic purposes?’. Fortunately, we got to interview a…
