Assignment 5 - Tutor Feedback

I felt that overall the assignment went well but I felt that I could have improved on my skills. My tutor agreed and said that while my submission was quite good; some compositional and technical skills could be improved on. He believes that my strengths are my visual awareness and reflective commentary and I would have to agree with that. I think that I am good at reviewing what I have done and how I can improve next time.

My tutor felt that some of the images were a little dark/underexposed so I have taken a look at one of them in particular to see if I can improve.

Before.

After.

 

I definitely prefer the after image as I think that it has a better quality to it. I have altered the exposure slightly.

Another point made was that the image I shot of the model sleeping could benefit from a slight crop.

I have cropped this image to just above the handle of the suitcase as my tutor suggested and I think that it is a definite improvement on the composition. I think that I tend to focus on the subject I am shooting rather than considering the frame as a whole. I must remember to do this.

 

Overall I am happy with my tutors feedback and agree with the points he has made. I really need to improve on my technical skills now as I feel that my written observation is good.

 

 

This was the final assignment to the Digital Photographic Practice course, now on to People and Place!
