The document summarizes a photography student's project involving two photo shoots and editing the resulting images. For the first shoot, the morning session was successful but the afternoon produced more tourist photos. Two images from the morning, IMG_0204.JPG and IMG_9821.JPG, were selected for the final set. Minimal editing is planned for IMG_9821.JPG while lighting will be adjusted for IMG_0204.JPG. The document goes on to describe editing various individual images, discussing techniques like color balancing. Composition, audience, influences, and an evaluation of the project are also reviewed.

Use this space to discuss about the following;
• Was the shoot successful?
The morning shoot was successful and I got a lot of images I was happy with and I plan to use
a lot of them for the final photos and edit them, what was unsuccessful was the afternoon
shoot because I did not take a lot of images and most of them are tourist images, but some of
them are good, but I will be using more images from the morning then the afternoon for the
final images.
• Are any of the images you produced going to be in the final set?
Images IMG_0204.JPG and IMG_9821.JPG are going to be in my final set, I am still working
out how I will edit it and what I will do to it. The reason I am using IMG_0204.JBG is because it
has good lining and framing and when editing I might work on the lighting. IMG_9821.JBG is
one of my favourite images and will be my top image and the one I do first and show first.
• What post-production could occur?
I don’t plan on doing a lot of post production on these two images most of the post p will be
for IMG_0204.JPG where I will probably work on the lighting for the image. For
IMG_9821.JBG I don’t plan on doing a lot of editing just small things like making it look nice
and fix any problem with It.

What editing techniques have you carried out and why?
I changed the colour balance of the image I did this by putting the image on Photoshop and
using the short key cmd-B and changed the shadows, midtones and highlights of the image
until I liked it. The reason I did this is because it changes the way you think about the image
and what it says to the audiences.

30. Evaluation - Composition
Use this space to discuss about the following;
• Discuss elements of visual language that refer to the composition and image construction
You do not need to refer to all of the images, however, it would be useful to discuss your use of
composition in specific images. Refer to your terminology sheet or Task 4 PowerPoint on
Blackboard.

31. Evaluation - Audience
You should discuss;
• Does your project meet the identified audience in the proposal document?
• What social groups and genders should view this work?
• Does it contain political views that would appeal to an audience?
Peer Review
Peer reviewing is a beneficial way to gain comments on your images to help you improve and
ensure your images are of high quality
Peers can use this box to comment on your work. Remember. Constructive, not destructive!

32. Evaluation - Context
You should discuss;
• What previous work has influenced your project? (past and present photographers?)
• Has it been influenced by race, religion or politics?
• Do the contexts identified in the proposal meet your finished project? (Do you feel that
your images are near-professional enough to be sold or promoted?)

33. Evaluation
On this page, you should identify;
• Have you achieved what you aimed to do with your images? If so, how? If not, why?
• Are the images fit for purpose? Could they be entered into a competition?
• Have you received negative or positive feedback? Give examples and be critical regarding
any further changes that may be necessary.
• Consider the technical qualities of the images – How well has exposure, depth of field and
post-production been controlled?
• Consider the visual impact of the images – How artistic? Are they black and white or
colour? Justify your rationale behind your choices.

34. Evaluation
Finally you should critically discuss;
• What skills and knowledge have you gained from the photography project?
• What can you do now that you could not? Is there anything else you need to learn about?
• Do you feel that you managed your time on the project well?
• And finally, self-evaluation on any other comments, notes, production logs, sketches, trial
shots.
