Photobook Update

Feedback:

I need to change the title and need to remove and replace half of the images because there are some images that are not of good quality and do not match the content of the article. After receiving feedback, I think the project will focus on the lights.

Skills for The Project

Technical skills:

Low Light Photography Techniques: Nighttime photography often requires longer exposures to capture enough light. Understanding how to adjust your camera's settings for low light conditions, such as using a wide aperture, higher ISO settings, and slower shutter speeds, is essential.

Post-Processing: Editing software like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop can be invaluable for fine-tuning your images after shooting. Techniques such as adjusting exposure, contrast, and color balance can help polish your photos and bring out their full potential.

What's next:

I plan to take many more photos to find the right photos, I want to tell a story conveyed through my photos. The description of city life becomes quiet at night and I want to share my story and project on my own website so everyone can access it.

Intro:

Through the camera lens, I want to capture the moments of street life at night, the sparkling light from street lights and neon signs. When night falls, there will be shadows of people working at night to help make the city more beautiful, or gatherings filled with the sound of weddings after a long, tiring day. "A City's Story - Urban life after Dark" unfolds under a kaleidoscope of emotions and experiences and shows you a story of a city at night.

Feedback:

Planned Deliverables:

Primary - I think I need to focus on the writing part because it will take more a lot of my time and seek help for my writing.

Secondary - I want to take more photos and get more good-quality photos for the project.

Photoshoot Update

-After a short afternoon appointment with Emil, we talked about changing the topic for me due to some school rules and we discussed my upcoming plans, finding a way to complete the project in time. and the best and I really appreciate Emil for that. -After discussing with Emil, we found similarities for the new project, the topic I will do is about the city at night and I need to change the name for the new topic. I also walked around the city for 2 days to find the best photo and take full advantage of the time I had to borrow a camera.

Photoshoot Update

- I took a few photos of the aurora and it was also the first time I saw it so clearly. I took these photos with my phone because I had no previous preparation so the image quality was a bit poor. - I plan to borrow the camera on Monday and have to return it on Wednesday, during which time I will make the most of it and take lots of photos. - On Thursday I will choose 10-15 of the best photos to edit and adjust the frames for the photobook, uploading the photos to personal social media. Try to be perfect and can receive feedback on Friday.

Reflective Statement

Feedback:

Benita and I often sit together in class and I often discuss homework with her. I asked Benita about my short article and she gave me good reviews and about the inappropriate font that needed to be changed.

Best Images So Far

Feedback:

I need to take more photos and I need to change the topic immediately because the topic I am working on is related to mental health issues and that is allowed in college. Emil suggested the topic to me about city nightlife because I also took some similar photos and I could develop more about it, I need to take more photos to keep up with the assignment's progress.

What I Want to Do

I will present the project in a narrative form and can showcase the photos in a photo book or frames in an art gallery, I want to capture the moments of homeless people on the streets, expressing their love, humanity and moments of happiness amidst difficult circumstances. I will show my respect and approach them politely, strike up a conversation ask permission before taking their photo, and respect their privacy and personal space. In addition, the audience I target in this project is those who love to see street portraits related to social issues and urban culture.

Plan

Next week I will go take some more photos and maybe get more feedback.

Location: CBD, Massey?

Select and edit photos to get the best photos.

Top 3  Challenges with My Project

CAMERA SETTING - Because of the number of pictures I took in public places, sometimes there was some trouble for me, I was not able to take pictures but the moments I saw when I was busy had to adjust the camera's brightness. AFRAID OF TAKING PHOTOS WHEN OTHERS DISCOVER - I felt quite scared when I secretly took a photo of someone and was discovered by that person because the subject I was taking was homeless people and there was no telling what would happen. happened to me. Frustration - Sometimes I don't know if this topic is right for me, I can't find anything to photograph, but I don't think I'll give up.

Summarizes your entire project

The project aims to capture emotional and natural photos of the homeless, showing another side of the city and their experiences. I can approach targets from afar or ask them for the perfect shots. I want to show photos through photobooks in a storytelling format that will create many emotions for viewers about the people complaining on the streets.
