Term 3 reflection
This term, I have put much more of my own ideas into my photography. It is most evident in the soundtrack project, where I decided to create a story for the series. In the past, I often followed what others did and I couldn't get out of my "bubble". My idea of photography has not changed much, but the way I take photos have changed. I try to find new perspectives when taking photos and I try to play with lighting. I am satisfied with my culture photo, where I took a photo on stage. It would have been difficult for me to do such a move in the past, as I would be afraid of how others would view me. Now, I am more willing to take risks and to change the way I look at ordinary objects. I feel that my skills have not improved a lot, however I am feeling a lot more confident with my photography. I have less grainy photos and I like to experiment with different lenses.
What has not changed is that I still enjoy taking photos of still life and people. I still enjoy taking portraits and candid photos of my friends and family. I would like to continue taking photos to improve my photography, especially of what I enjoy taking photos of.

About me
This is my second year in a photography class. The last photography class, which sparked my interest in photography was two years ago. I have mostly been taking candid photos for the school yearbook. I am in favor of taking photographs of still life and those photos often turn out better than taking photos of things in motion.
Reflection
I feel the need to improve in taking action shots and things other than still life. This term, I have learned of ways to play with photos and how to add effects. My photography has not improved much since I started this term, however I will work on composing different types of images.
