Overall, I feel rather disappointed with
the outcome of the project. There are some things I like more than others, and
some things I would have definitely changed. If I had more time or had been
able to gain access to night vision or infrared cameras, I feel I could have
changed my project for the better.
I like the aesthetic of my final images. I’m not sure they convey
the meaning I’ve intended, although to me it is quite obvious.
The hardest part about my project was
staging the photos, but not making them look staged. In such low light, I
needed my subjects to be still, but I wanted to create the feel that I was
shooting them in motion. Photoshopping each image separately also led to some
differences, and it was hard to get each image the same color and
brightness. However, I learnt a lot about photoshop with this project.
If I could do anything differently with this project, I would try to get
a night vision camera, although it’s pretty hard to get them in New Zealand. I
would put more effort into taking the photos as well as photoshopping them. I would also stick with one angle – the
high angles in some of the photos give the illusion of a surveillance camera,
but the lower angles
in others make it seem like someone is stalking these two people.
All in all, I think this project went
better than the preceding, but it still could have used improvements.
