Music Portraiture Evaluation

Evaluation


I think overall my photo shoots went really well. I managed to get some really good pictures and the music students are really happy with them, that alone makes me happy as well as I know that the pictures are good enough for them to use to publicise their music.

My studio pictures went quite well and my music student Ali was pleased with them and said they were 'really good'. All the lighting was in the right place most of the time but there was sometimes a problem with it; it wouldn't flash in sync with the camera for some reason, this seemed to happen to everyone but it wasn't too much of a problem in the end.

My location pictures were the best as they, in general came out the best in the end and lots of people have said they are 'amazing' including, of course the music student Sam. There was a little bit of a problem with the initial photo shoot as we had trouble with transport so it had to be called off. Luckily the next time we did it everything went smoothly although the drum kit was a little bit difficult to carry to and from the place we had to go to.

In general I really liked the outcome of everything, even though I didn't like the studio shots that much; they came out good anyway. I did however find out that I really like taking pictures on location and am better at doing it as well.
