Final Evaluation

This whole project has been a really good experience. Over the year, in the studio I have learnt new skills, lighting techniques and gained confidence in working collaboratively with models and other photographers to create new ideas, concepts and ways of working. I've learnt how to communicate with my model in order for them to understand what I want to produce. As well as making sure they are comfortable when I am photographing them, techniques such as play some background music, and letting them see the photos I am taking. Photographically I have taken some great photographs and have been able to use the skills in other projects. Things like working with models to create effective and productive photoshoots, but iconically, working with studio lighting and different ways I can use the studio.

THE BAD

Competency Test

There is a lot of little things in photography where, if you don't know what the terminology means then you won't be able to some particular photographs. In order to make sure I had the competence to take photographs with simple and basic techniques I took a 'Competency Test'. Below is an image of the test.

I completed each task. It was fairly simple and easy for me because I am confident with my camera skills and knowledge. 

My Photographs

Photograph an object using shallow depth of field:

Photograph the same object using deep depth of field:

An image that freezes motion:

An image that demonstrates camera shake:

An image with a high ISO:

I used ISO 800

Same image with low ISO:

I used ISO 100

3 different photos of the same subject showing different colour temperature (white balance):

Fluorescence

Cloudy

Tungsten

Take a photo using a tripod:

Take a photo using an external flash:

Take the same photo using on-camera flash:

And again using no flash:

Take a photograph using a wide angle lens (around 18-20mm):

Take the same using a telephoto lens (around 200mm):

Take two photos, one with a high vantage point and one with a low vantage point:

Take a high key and low key portrait:

Take a photo that demonstrates the rule of thirds:

The other two tasks that I cant show visually is to safely change a lens and to correctly put a reflector back in it's bag. I did do these correctly and effectively.
