The student wishes to create a fine art photography portfolio for their final major project. They have always enjoyed photography since their father inspired them to take photos using his professional camera when they were younger. Doing a project based on photography will allow them to enjoy creating something they have always been passionate about. They plan to research different photography styles on Instagram and will aim to have an interesting visual style throughout their portfolio that appeals to audiences and keeps them engaged. The mood of their photos will be interesting in order to keep viewers enjoying and wanting to see more, as too serious of a mood may make the photos harder to enjoy. They decided on including a variety of edited photo styles to promote their work to a wider audience and grab attention.
