To say I am excited for this learning project is an understatement. Throughout this semester I will be learning a new skill and keeping you all updated on the good, the bad, and the ugly of it.
This new skill that I will be learning is…. Drum roll, please...
Photography
Photography is something I have admired for as long as I can remember but recently my interest in it has sparked to new levels. The amount of incredible photography I see not only online but in art galleries and restaurants have inspired me to learn how to create like-minded images with my own lil flare. There is one catch though, I do not have a fancy DSLR camera. So with that being said by the end of this I hope to be a self-proclaimed IPhone photographer. I am going to keep my eyes out for film cameras and/or second hand DSLR cameras.
Through out this journey I will be focusing on a new form of photography every two weeks. I chose every two weeks to give myself enough time to find different subjects for my photos, be able to feel as though I am understanding the concept and still have time to edit the images as well. The three forms of photography that I am going to be focusing on first are:
Portrait
Sports & action
Candid
My end goal is feel comfortable behind the camera and be able to capture the beauty of mundane things and the beautiful people around me.
Hope you all enjoy this creative adventure along side me.
Hi Maddy,
Love the format of your post here with the drumroll! It's nice to see that you'll be honest on your blog and show us your struggles as well as successes, because the struggles are really what helps us learn and get to those milestones that we are so proud of when we do get there.
It is clear that you have already done some research for your project, having the three types of photography that you are most interested in. One thing I might suggest is providing links to your research on each of the styles (that may be coming in future blogs). So great to have an end goal so that you know exactly what you are…
Hi Madison! That is amazing that you are learning photography. I always have had an interest and hobby of taking photos. My cousin even asked me to take photos during her wedding dance and while she was getting ready and I felt pretty special that she asked me to do that! There is so much to learn about a camera and it is amazing what they can do. Good luck with capturing your photos, you will do great!
