UNIT 1: fINAL eVALUATION
From course unit 1, I have researched a lot of artists and photographers. Their range of styles, their experience and different ideas have helped to inspire me and given me lots of ideas. All of these photographers have different styles, but all have given me inspiration for developing ideas around the different themes they all explore. Through my research I have picked out a few artists that I liked the best and put them onto my web page.

Mobile Photography
While doing mobile photography I've learned that you don't need to have a brilliant camera to take pictures, I've also learned that in some cases mobile photography is better, like taking pictures on the move or in a busy place. It's also good because phones are usually smaller than a camera so they're easier to keep in your pocket and take pictures on the move.
Street Photography
For street photography I studied a photographer called Martha Cooper, This is useful because if they are taking pictures of people in the street, they don't want people noticing and moving out of the frame, or drawing attention to themselves. Street photographers are usually balletic and patient this is important because they capture a picture in the moment, but they don't create a false image for example making people stand in a specific position
Fantastic and Strange
This theme is my most favourite theme because it has lots of different ideas than the other topics before. This is because there was a huge variety of things I could do for this theme. I could pick different styles of strange and make it unrecognisable. I used someone to jump and took a photo of them and thenupload the photo shop and it took me long so, when i see the first time i has made i awe so much and am pleased myself.
Abstract
This theme is easier for me to manage and use a picture in Photoshop.
Finally, for our last personal projects I picked the theme Fragments. I think it was the most enjoyable because it kept me going with lots of research about fragments. I had lots of ideas and my imagination was unlimited. Another reason why I really liked it, was because I felt like I had the most independence and freedom on creating my final pieces and the lead up to it. I used Pinterest to help me get some inspiration. From the very beginning of the task I knew what types of final pieces I wanted to create.
