Unit 57 : Photography and Photographic Practice - Evaluation 

# data[].attributes.body
In this assignment I will be evaluating what my images and shoot as a whole was like and how I could do better in the future to improve my photography.

We were required to plan and produce a shoot which has been thoroughly thought about. And then produce the shoot along with our favourites and a contact sheet.

The Plan was to simply go into my garden and around my house and using controlled lighting, I would take macro images of objects and nature, whilst combining this with fine art which boosts the quality of the image overall. I used a variety of techniques to do this and made sure that every image came out as intended.

Visual language helped in that it gave me the information I wanted quickly and without a problem also it helped me convey what my idea was quickly and efficiently and also in terms of managing the information in your mind, it is actually a lot easier to do. I felt that this way of photography was good and you can really capture the texture and detail that is lost in normal photography. Also the rule of thirds was crucial in this photography as it meant that I could portray the photography correctly and focus on the image exactly how I wanted to. In the bubbles image there is a good portrayal of shape as you can see the roundness of the bubbles extremely well and I emphasised the colour by increasing the contrast hence getting the desired effect.

My target audience was that anyone really. I was intending for it to be anyone who likes things that are macro and like to see a world up close. I think that this photography will appeal to anyone as it is fascinating and simply great for everyone from being very young to very old everyone will take a second look and like it.

There were no particular influences on me to bring me the work that I have although in terms of the macro photography, I have seen many photographers that use this and after seeing many examples of this I have seen, I felt inspired to do the same sort of thing hence the results I have got now. I don't know the photographer's because I have actually seen a lot of images and different examples that have made me love macro as much now.

Yes, my planning does relate to my planning and they are fit for purpose as they have shown what I wanted in my mind map. I exhibited my work via Padlet/online blog as i felt that it was the best way to guarantee its availability for exhibition. I also gained a lot of knowledge on how to capture the macro images as i felt unsure before but now that I have done these I feel a bit more confident on settings and ways on setting up to get the best image. Feedback said that I needed an actual macro lens rather than an attachment which is what I used to capture images that are below. An actual lens would all me to focus better and it would be able to get better clarity in my images that my current images lack.

Here I changed the camera's aperture setting a lot which meant I could change the depth of field to the point where the object that is close up is in perfect focus whilst the background isn't, perhaps too much in places I have to admit. I used the rule of thirds to ensure that my composition is correct and so that I can place the subject correctly and get a good balance between out of focus and in focus. All images shown above only have brightness and contrast tweaks and nothing that has changed the image significantly although due to the distance, there were images that I did crop but they aren't shown mainly because I didn't like them at all as the cropping meant that the quality wasn't as good.

My main source of information is from my mind map as that is my plan as to what to do in the shoot and in the images. Feed back said that I should have not only a better lens. But they also say that i have a goods aperture in the images and that my depth of field is a negative thing and also that I have good contrasting colour on my images.
