My successful images are these two, because they are self portraits and it shows the out line of me also there not that much going on in the background so that make the viewer focus on me more and how I position my images.The reason why I the first image is because you cant see all of me and it has reflections.The reason why I like the second image is because you can see the whole outline of me and it has a lot of reflection.
I picked these images because I dislike them .The reason why I picked the first one because there more then one shadow and it ruins the whole point of selfies.The reason why I picked the second picture is because I know it a selfie but there flash in my face and I think it distract the whole image.The reason why I picked picture 3 was because Kadie next to me and it take the whole theme out of the image because if I was on my own then it would be a good selfie but because there another body it takes the focus out.
I picked these two as my successful because I like my composition and how I structure these images maybe if I had more time I could developed it even more I think if I develop this more then these could be very successful and I think the could be my final piece I like how I composed my image because it just unique so that what I need to improve.These are successful because it looks there reflections.
I picked these three as my successful ones because these are very clear and I like how there are different colour the reason why I picked the first one is because it very funky and imaginative.The reason why I picked the second one is because I took the picture at a different angle and it draws you into the images and I really like that because it colourful.The reason why I picked the final one because I closely took a picture and I like how the different colours matches each other.
What went well with my images is that my images are all different the equipment i used was some tracing paper, sugar paper, fairy lights, bottles, cloths, light bulb, wood, a stick, pape ,acid tate paper.I used different materials within my work not all of my images are the same.I would like to have more time to improve my images I would like to take more pictures and experiment more with my materials and the composition within my images.
