The document summarizes Andy Gronow's work on a photography assignment. Andy experimented with different photography themes before choosing abstract. Andy took photos with various camera settings and heavily edited the photos in Photoshop to remove realism. Andy learned skills in using a camera, photo editing, and Photoshop tools. The work included photos with manipulated images like adding bones to a hand. Feedback was positive, praising the creative abstract theme and editing, though more time and advanced equipment could improve the work.

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.
