Post Shoot Reflection

1. The challenges I faced while trying to find good examples of these four prompts was the fact that there were so many ways and forms of shooting these words, but only a few of them were interesting a strong examples. Also, because having the prompts creates an idea and picture in my mind of the photos I will take, it was difficult to realize that the photos were harder to shoot than I thought they'd be.

2. While shooting these themes, the technical aspects of photography I that I found the most difficult was the way I held the camera and getting the buttons to work while in a certain position. For example, for a photo of a square, I wanted to take a photo of a square shape on the ceiling, and the only way to make the photo look good was to make the camera look straight up at the square, then focus the camera, then shoot.

3. If I could do ever thus assignment, I would definitely include some of the photography rules I learned, now that I am aware of how much better they can make my photoshoot turnout. For example, for the theme of 'happy', I took a photo of two girls laughing but failed to capture their whole bodies, which cuts out their body language that could make the photo represent 'happy' even more accurately. 

4. For this photoshoot, the things that I would do the same is keeping my wide variety of options open for shooting, and always having a good and creative imagination for finding great photo opportunities.

5. After reviewing my photos after learning the photo rules, I realized that they can use some work. If I had added some of the rules, for example I needed more balance and less merging in the photos, they would appear more organized and professional, and overall more pleasing to the eye.

6. I am really interesting and devoted to shooting these photo themes again because since I have learned all these new things, I know I can make my photos so much better and professional, which will take me one step closer to shooting top photos.

Reagan's photos followed all the prompts perfectly, and they were more abstract and went beyond the words, and more to the meaning. Also, all of the photos are pleasing to the eye and are accurate towards the prompts.

One aspect of Reagan's photos that could be improved is stating the prompt in the photo a little clearer. In a couple cases, I wasn't always able to know what the photo was trying to show, until I read the caption.
