Research Task #1

A Thoughtful Reflection.............

Well if I think back to semester 1 year 1 I am surprised I am still here! I started the course because I was bored and thought it would be good to learn a few things. I had no experience whatsoever, didn't even know what aperture meant! I had travelled around europe and was bitterly disappointed with the photos I had taken. To me photos are capturing a moment that can bring back the emotions time & time again and I wanted to be able to do justice to the amazing places I had seen.

So I never intended to stay on for 3rd year, yet here I am. I changed my mind for a few reasons, but mainly I am here for my own satisfaction, to finally finish something I started! I am now a partner in T8 Photography with Tate & Doug, it's very exciting to be involved and we have big ideas for where we will take the business, the first step being a commercial office and studio in Mitchell we have just moved into. Exciting times ahead!

When choosing what to photograph for my folio this semester I wanted to do something I had limited experience with. So reflective small objects were the winner and after all diamonds are a girls best friend right!

So I have been lucky to get a jewellery store on board to let me photograph such beautiful items.

My brief -
10 studio shots of rings
5 watch advertisements including models
5 studio shots of other accessories
5 shots of accessories on location as a fashion narrative

More detail for the above are included in my Proposal as per emailed copy.
