Reflection

Throughout this Blog I have tried to include the ways in which I work to make what I do much easier for me. I have shown this by included great preparation tips such as creating tick/check lists and showing you the equipment I use at home to make time for what I do since timing is everything. I have included a few of my favourite photographers such as Chase Jarvis and Penny De Los Santos to show where I get my inspiration for what I do and to show how their workflow and imagery has changed me as a person into creating work which is unique and stands out. I have added previous photography work from the past as well as new work to show the differences within my work since my portfolio/website work has a much more clean modern look to food where as the work I do for university projects has a much more deeper meaning behind it to create a unique idea behind it and to show people something they may have not seen before. When creating work I often like to think of what I have created not to be the best I can do because this will give me a push to create something even better the next time round. I often post my work onto my Personal Blog so that people can take a look and evaluate what looks good and what looks bad this for me is very helpful when it comes to creating my final outcome within my work.

As you will see from my website and business cards making yourself known and putting yourself out there is very important to me since this is what will get you the attention from other people who may potentially hire you or be interested in buying your work. I have shown research through a variety of posts some being video research and some written both of which I believe to be important.

As I have developed my photographic knowledge I have gained an insight into the photography world which I never thought I would from technology to ideas and the history of photography. Recently I have been looking at food preservation since this is what I would like to focus my final project on and I believe that I have shown this in my previous work also but I would like to take it that one step further to create something different. As the population grows so does the need for food and I believe the way in which weather, wastage and food prices have changed will have a big impact on us traditional preservation methods and new methods are often overlooked by many people some may not have the time and some the resources but I believe that could change and I would like to create an idea for my final project relating to this.
