Final Images and Evaluation.

 

 

 

 

    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.
