Final Evaluation

Overall, this project for me was very enjoyable. Even more so than the last project working with film camera's and the darkroom. This is because I had experience so therefore, was more confident in trying new things and going off by myself to take images. 

The amount of freedom I had when shooting things also made this project more interesting as a whole. I got to put my own spin on the images and the project brief. I did this by incorporating interior design with the new architecture shoots. I did this because of the amount of glass involved with new architecture. 

My least enjoyable and the thing I most struggled with was working with other people. The darkroom isn't very big so, I definitely got frustrated with the limited amount of space I had and going places to shoot that I didn't particularly didn't want to go to. Next time, I will definitely try to appreciate that everyone's in the same position as me and even though I may not like a location, someone might not like mine.   

My favourite part of this project definitely has to be the 2 trips we took. The first to Leeds and the second to Birmingham. It was someone new and a lot more photo opportunities were there. In my opinion, its good to be taken out of your usual surroundings. 

Next time, I will be a lot more comfortable with going off by myself and be able to load and unload my film by myself as I was scared I would fog my images. Also, I will try to do more shoots in my own time, travelling to other places and taking different images so non of the images are similar.
