- The document discusses Andy Gronow's photography project exploring abstract themes. - Andy experimented with different camera settings and heavily edited photos in Photoshop, such as adding bones to a hand. - Andy's strengths were Photoshop editing. Weaknesses included research. - Feedback from Josh Griffin praised the creative name and fresh themes, though disliked one "silly face" photo. - Andy reflected on wanting more feedback but being limited by time.

1. Unit 9, Task 11- Evaluation
Andy Gronow

2. Part 1
• We had to find examples of different types of photography and choose a
photographer to look in detail about. After some experimentation I
ended up deciding to do abstract as my theme.
• My initial inspiration was Frank Sherschel; a Photojournalist. But then I
decided to go down my own track and do an abstract theme instead.
• As my theme was abstract, I used the camera on many different settings
and took pictures in many different areas of the site I was on.
• I edited all of my pictures greatly to strip them of their realism. For the
picture of Josh’s hand, for example, I Photo-shopped bones of the human
hand onto Josh’s hand, after which I decided to add some dark shadowy
effects with the paint tool to make the picture more eerie.
• I have learned more about using a camera, how to take an accurate
picture, and also how to use a lot of the tools in Photoshop. It has made
picture production a lot easier.

3. Examples of my Work

4. Part 2
• My biggest strength was editing in Photoshop. I was okay at
taking the actual pictures, but my main weakness was
researching information.
• I think I did a relatively good job at the pictures I created. I still
haven’t mastered everything in Photoshop and picture taking,
but it seems like I might be heading in the right direction with
it.
• I was originally going to do a picture with a controller, but due
to limited time, I was only able to do three or four pictures.
Overall, I would say I’ve satisfied the targets I set.
• I have gained a lot of skill in the art of photography and
wouldn’t find it much of a challenge now.
• I am unsure what more I could have done, but more time and
more advanced equipment may allow me to enhance my work.

7. Part 4- Questionnaire
Question 1- Do you like the name of my Exhibition, ‘The Exhibition that
didn’t have a name because I couldn’t think of one’ and why/why not.
Question 2- What is your Favourite Picture and Why?
Question 3- What is your least favourite and why?
Question 4- Which picture do you think was the best edited?
Question 5- Would you visit this in an Art Gallery?

8. Part 4- Questionnaire Feedback
1: Josh Griffin
Question 1- I do like the name of the exhibition because it’s something new-
something you wouldn’t normally hear.
Question 2- Picture 3, because it’s something new in Photography.
Question 3- Picture 2 because I was doing a silly face.
Question 4- Picture 5 because it does really stand out.
Question 5- Yes, because it’s something fresh.

9. Reflection on Feedback
• Josh has made very good points on my questionnaire.
• I’m not sure what Josh has against image 2- it’s weird, sure, but the
PhotoShop editing gave it a whole new atmosphere.
• I only asked Josh. I could have asked more people but I didn’t have time.
