QUESTIONS
How can understanding photo controls allow you to have more creative freedom in your work?
-When you add effects to photos you give them different emotions and you also make them personal. When you use a shallow depth of field, it really allows you to focus on one part of the subject; a long exposure can create a dream-like ethereal aspect through blurred images. When using these styles effectively you can amplify or even change the meaning of a photograph.
What did you learn or refine from this assignment?
-I already knew how to use these camera effects, doing this portfolio just really helped solidify them in my mind, and I can always use as much practice as I can get.
How can this assignment be improved in the future?
- I'm not really sure. I believe this portfolio was a very nice refresher in the camera and its controls.
