SELF EVALUATION

Since I can remember, I wanted to become a photographer like my father. Now that I am studying photography I know that this is what I will be doing for the rest of my life and feel glad for studding in UK. 

Photo skills A is the base of what I will be doing for the rest of my studies and for me it was an experiment to learn how to work as a university student and how to apply principle in my photographs.

Even if the most of the time felt lost about what I should be doing for the module, I now have learned to work by myself but also with groups and especially to work methodically and having a schedule for my studying and responsibilities for the module.

Depth of Field, was a very interesting and at the same time difficult. The reason was because I had a new camera and I never had to work manually. Even though, after practice and research I am now able to photograph pictures of each of the categories of the Depth of Field.

Shutter Speed was also something new and for me it was the most creative assignment. Drawing with the glow sticks and capturing the light of the cars was very fascinating even if I had no tripod which it was necessary.

The studio assignment was also very creative. I had the chance to share my point of view about portraits and with my research and with the help of the lighting workshop with my group, I manage to prepare my on subject based on portraits.  It was not easy because until now I have not a character in my photography and I am still experimenting in order to capture qualitative and aesthetically beautiful photographs.

The Assignment was the best way to start my studies. I have learned principles and tips, I had the chance to experiment, show my ideas and develop my own subject. Even thought I was feeling lost for the first two weeks and this might be because I am from Cyprus and it is still my first year in the UK. I know that I have to try harder but still I am willing to do so as this is what I will do for life.
