First of all I want to say that this was an awesome class. We did so much cool stuff. Field trips, different kinds of photo shoots in the studio. I t was a good semester. One of the things that I learned and that will help me in the future is to use all the photography equipment we used in class: lights, tripod, backgrounds, umbrellas, etc. Now I feel more confident if in the future I might need to step in a studio and help. Now it will look like I know what I am doing, for example, where to place the lights, use the meter right,etc.
The second thing I learned was to decide what is best for the object/product that i am shooting. By this I mean how I want to people see my photos, what I want to express and show the audience. I f I want it to look happy, sad, intimate, a fancy/smooth look and the type of environment that will help the object. Knowing what you want to show and what you want to make the audience feel is a what matters.
The third thing that was important is that you need patience when doing a photo shoot. You don’t always get the result you want or expect, it is not something that you can do in ten minutes or even an hour, sometimes it takes you more than that to get it right. Everything is a factor, the light, the object/model , your attitude, the environment. You need to keep doing and trying new things sometimes to get what you want and to show what you want people to feel with your photos.
