Goals


I've considered after this class, I might purchase photography equipment and build my skills to continue photography as a paid hobby. I've come so far in this class, and taking another year definitely showed my improvement. This year prepared me for advertising and I hope to publish and edit my website and promote my business cards. With the experience I've gained, it wont be hard to continue and be successful.
I found that i'm most comfortable taking portraits, and I find them to be enjoyable. I want to try and break out of my comfort zone and start getting comfortable with other styles, in doing so I believe it could really help me grow. I've become more familiar with the studio this year and i'd like to get away from that and improve outside of the studio. In some of my free shoots this year i'm trying to experiment with themes to try and get more comfortable with things I don't have to model.
I'm really not looking for any internships because I prefer to do my own work. I found a different career choice, so i'm only interested in using photography to earn extra money.
My work this year has been better than my previous year, nothing worth putting in the print show because its all things i've done. Hopefully I can attempt to have some fresh work to submit to the print show coming up.
