Imogen Cunningham Project Reflection
- How do you think your project has represented you as a person? For this project, I attempted to recreate the photos Imogen Cunningham took. She took many botanical pictures, so I used that as inspiration to photograph the pretty flowers around school. She also took several portraits, so I took photos of one of my best friends.
- How has your understanding of photography changed during this school year? Whenever I heard the word photography, I though more about professional photos and photoshop. But the type of photography I've done so far this year was more freestyle and random. It's not as strict with rules as I had imagined.
- What are some benefits of working in a group? Working in a group is really convenient, because you have your peers who can help you when you have a question or give you advice on how to take a photo. Also, anytime you need a model, you have three waiting right there, usually willing to be one.
- What are some disadvantages? The only disadvantage I could think of for working in a group is working at a pace that everybody can keep up with. Sometimes in our group, half of us would have our work done, but half of us wouldn't, so we were going outside more than we needed or we weren't going out enough.
- Now that you have had time to reflect, is there anything that you would've done differently with the recent project? I would definitely change some things from the Masters of Photography project. I wish I had used a camera with better quality to capture the same detail that I noticed in Imogen's photos. Also, I wish I had used a simpler background for some of the photos I took. That way there could have been more focus on the subjects of my photos.
- Is there anything else you would like to include? I really enjoyed this project and hope to do more like it this year.
