Overall InsideOut Reflection

7. What did you learn about photography from this project?

    Through this InsideOut project, I learned how important the negative is. When I  first took pictures of Lydia, I had a hard time focusing clearly. And, the result after I developed the film was not satisfying. This led to more time required to make big prints because I had to try my best to make clear one which was impossble. However, when I took pictures of Venenssa who is in grade two, the foscuing was totally clear!! I was so excited. Also, every time I made contact sheet and 8X10 sheet, I was satisfied with my printed photo. I realized how important the film is and I have to be careful to focus the camera which is my weakest point before I take pictures of people. 

9. Do you think that you are, or would like to be a “portrait” photographer? Why or why not.
  
   I think I would like to become the "portrait" photographer. After I took pictures of Lydia and Venessa I became interested in taking shoots of people's expression they make and their gesture in order to connect with others. Taking pictures of people's faces allows me to capture their real sides which is very interesting. I can see their facial expresssions and their reactions in front of camera. Because when I take pictures of object or scenery, they stay same; but people are always different and can express multiply emotions. I love that facts!!;) 

3. How hard or easy was it to show the art of your model?
    Taking shoots of my models was not hard. Both Lydia and Venessa had their direct thoughts about the art, it was not hard to take pictures of them. Especially when I took pictures of Venessa I asked her about the dream and she said that she woul like to become a dancer. Then she showed me some dance move which was very interesting to take pictures of her!!I loved the poses she did!! However, the one thing I felt little hard to show the art of my models is when I capture one moment I always take long time to take pictures so often I miss that moment when my models express their art that time!!!!!Because people keep moving consistantly and usually hard to pose exact same poses again. It happened when I took pictures of Lydia. She posed greatly but I missed that moment.... because I was busy trying to focus my camera. That was the difficulty I encountered with while I was taking pictures of my models.
