As I reached the end of the two weeks I feel successful with my achievements, the task seemed simple. Go out and take pictures and compare them to Michael Freeman's this way my photos will be improved but that's not exactly how easy it was. I had many struggles throughout my project such as having the right setting and background, also I thought that I was going to focus on nature, outdoor photography but many of Michael's pictures were with people but were still outside. I enjoy nature photography more but I had to experience a different type of photography, this was challenging. My friends really helped me achieve the photos I had in mind. I learned while doing this project that you can really be motivated If you are doing something you enjoy I had no problem going out and doing this project because it was something that I am passionate about and I actually want to learn more about photogrpahy and become better at taking photos.
At the beginning of this project I thought How can I really increase my learning about photography? And my vision of success was comparing my photo's to an actual professional photographer and this being help myself as a "photographer". This helped me complete my project because It was different from the ways I was used to so I was excited to see what new levels I could reach and If this could actually effect me, which It did. Michael had great tips about the editing and types of lighting angles to make the pictures look best, this really helped me understand while seeing his examples of what he meant in his own pictures that were in the books.
