I like this photo because it shows two reflections yet it is obstructed by opaque objects. The obfuscation is in our view, It's like you can see me, but can you really see me?

Although the photo is out of focus I quite like it. I think it gives a sight of someone who would be drunk or high. It shows an insight of mind. Whilst there are three students visibly seen in a classroom, its almost like looking inside their heads.

I also like this photo because you can see everyone taking a photo of the reflections. We are all doing the same thing but in different ways, places and styles.

My reasoning for liking this photo is more of a metaphorical sense. In the photo I am pressing the button allowing the elevator doors to stay open. If I let the button go, the two girls in the background, would be out of sight, out of focus. I am holding the button as to who is presented with me.

I really like this photo because you are seeing a picture through a reflection of a wing mirror. You can see the beauty of the fall tree yet they are barricaded by fences.

On tuesdays lesson we were asked to bring in something to photograph in the studio. I cose to bring in a giraffe tedddy bear. I found it easier to take better photos being able to manipuate the positioning, lighting ect..

I like this photo

I like this photo because the shape is irregular. You can clearly see different types of shapes on the giraffe, I also manipulated th giraffe to make it look like it has some sort of flowers in its hands. Again adding more shapes. I alos like the fact the the colours stand out well against the neutral table and background. I thik the focus is good, i also like the there are shadows because it makes the while picture look a little less artificial.

I did not like this photo

I tried to create an effect as if the giraffe was hiding under the tree or using it for shade or something. however the tree was too small and came out covering the giraffes face. I also dont like that you can slightly see my finger on the left of the giraffe. I would like to experiment more next time.

Progression

Next time if given the opportunity i would like to be able to manipulate the object freely, i would consider bringing in a different object and using different lighting so i can get a mix of contrasted colours. I would also like to use for focused angles shots.

Here are some things i would like to do next time:

We were given the opportunity to shoot in the studio. We were asked to bring in any object to to shoot. i decided to bring in a bracelet I have had since I was eight years old. I had multiple attempts at this, some came out a little blurry due to the close proximity so i decided to step back but zoom in.
The colours of the bracelet look bright and and shiny.

This photo i liked

This photo is my preferred one, I like the angle it was taken at and the way the flash bounces off of the silver, yet the gold and white tones balance it out. The shadow casted creates heavier look, it shows the shade and possibility of different effects with the correct lighting.

This photo i did not like

As you can see the photo didn't come out very good, I know it was too close and the focus was on the back of the bracelet rather than the front.

Progression

Next time to i prove for the studio photos i think i will try and manipulate the jewelry to cast cool shadow effects.I will also try take photos from more angles. The photos below are some photos that I liked for improvement inspiration.
