2. Proposal Ideas & Process

When considering my focus for this final project I did come to some conflict. The conflict specifically centering on what this “focus” should be, prior to this project we were given strict guidelines and criteria as to what each and every task/project should focus on or include, but for this specific one we were left to determine and decide what we might what to photograph. After some some consideration i decided to focus on growth, growth specifically as it pertains to me and my career as a photographer. I recall the first day i received my camera with no clue as to how to operate it and take advantage of all its functionality. I seldom switched my settings away from manual mode. In addition i lacked the creativity and ability to capture the composition accurately and correctly. Now, 4 month later, I wont say I’ve perfected the craft but not only have i gained insight but Ive grown as a photographer. For this reason I plan to focus my final project on this growth capturing both my growth in creativity, as well as my growth in quality and composition of my pictures.

My Aims:

–  Focus on my growth as a photographer, to visibly see my journey progressing from automatic to manual mode, as well as see the increase in both quality and creativity of my photographs

–  Provide a reference to look back from for the future to see how much ive grown from here.

–  Number of total pictures isn’t completely identified but it definitely will exceed the minimum(7)

Method/Production Process:

–  Production methods will include referring back/ including photos already taken with an additional few that were recently taken

–  No special equipment will be used save for those already “normally” used i.e. Camera, Photoshop, Lightroom and the Blog
