Constructed Landscapes Evaluation
Throughout the three years I have been studying GCSE Photography, Constructed Landscapes has been the most fun I have had throughout the course. Initially I did not think I would enjoy this project.. Mainly because 'Landscapes' were not a type of picture that I would normally take so I was not optimistic. However once we got started I realized it would be very different to what I had imagined and would not be the normal type of landscape photography I was used to but would be something new to try out. I loved responding to all the different artists who used such different techniques especially Stefano Canto who inspired me to develop my Photoshop skills and led to me creating some of the best photography pieces I have made.
Overall I think that this project made me the best at photography I have ever been, I spent a lot of time at home refining my work and experimenting. As I researched each different artist I came up with more ideas each time, coming up with interesting responses that I could create.
I think that one of the skills I developed the most was my ability to use Photoshop.. I loved the amount of different features that were available that could completely change a photo. I think my responses to Stefano Canto, Mandy Williams and Tanja Deman are great examples of this.
