Photography Assignment Project

After hearing the details of this project I was a little intimidated but excited to face this new challenge. This specific content regarding photography of products, in general, is important to me because I have always been interested in advertising of any kind so this was just another form that I hadn’t ever tried before. I was always interested in more of the graphic design field to get my point across when it came to advertising but I know that was because I hadn’t experienced this field before. I really enjoyed the process of thinking of an idea and planning it out to find the best representation of the product with and without models. The biggest challenges I faced while creating my ideas were definitely in my conceptual photos. I always felt unsure of myself and whether or not my point would be getting across with the choices I made. Or if I was getting the right angle and lighting for my products. I would say I’m proud of some but could’ve planned better for others. I believe that a lot of that also had to do with what product I was shooting. I loved photographing the candle and Valentines Day candy because I was more familiar with the feeling they gave off whereas my boyfriends soccer cleats were harder to position because of my unfamiliarity with the objects. Overall I really enjoyed the process and outcome of my images and glad to have this experience under my belt now.
