Reflection
I feel a mix of progress and pride as I finish my last photography portfolio. This experience has been both demanding and fulfilling, encouraging me to advance my abilities and experiment with photography in new ways. Every picture in my portfolio conveys a tale about the subject matter as well as the lessons I've learned.
Developing unified pieces that conveyed meaning and emotion was my biggest accomplishment on this endeavor. I'm proud of how I honed my abilities to artistically employ lighting and frame scenes, whether it was through documentary-style pictures or portraiture. For instance, I used golden hour light to accentuate the warmth and atmosphere of my subjects in my outdoor pictures. I'm really delighted with how well my efforts showed in some of my photographs. My favorite techniques are framing and using leading lines to draw attention to the center of the photo. My other favorite technique has got to be using strong contrast of light background and dark subjects. Sunsets are my favorite time to take pictures, and that is reflected in my projects.
But striking a balance between creative expression and technical accuracy was my biggest struggle. I sometimes lost sight of the tale I intended to portray because I was too preoccupied with capturing the "perfect" photo. For instance, I found it difficult to record unscripted moments without being obtrusive or unduly planned when I was working on my documentary photography shots. All things considered, i think this mini portfolio shows my development as a photographer in this class. It demonstrates not just my technical advancements, but also my capacity to engage with themes and realize my ideas. I've discovered that patience and observation are just as important in photography as technique, and I can't wait to keep honing my skills in the future.
