What brought me to photography was for that I've always been interested about photography and photo shopping so I wanted to try out this class to see what it's like. I have learned that in photography you can capture many sides of people. This semester photography has helped me realize about myself that I can really bring out my personality through my photos. The challenge this semester was sometimes trying to come up with ideas to take pictures of. My best/most favorite project this year was probably the planet assignment. The project I would most likely want to redo is my light trail because I didn't really understand the project at the time very well and I wasn't very creative.
The imagery and symbolism I used in my self portraits were nature. These images represent to me that we need to be one with nature and enjoy and recognize the world around us. If someone saw my self portraits I would want them to think that I just really like nature.
I would tell a future Photography 1 student to just be creative with their work and have fun! Also, to express themselves through their work.
