Critical Evalution

Critical Evaluation

My overall idea ended up being a what I felt was a success. It ended up being of a product shot of cosmetic/toiletries items sold in the pharmaceutical healthcare store Boots typically found present in the bathroom. I thought that my final images looked good and showed off the advertised products very well. Looking back at what I first started out with, using a model head and setting up an entire room to look like a photography studio, by using bed sheets, blankets and pulling the blinds and curtains.

As I was limited to the equipment available in my house due to the Corna-virus, I had to resource to using a flashlight and phone lights. However if I had the choice i'd use the photography studio and use the external light equipment there for an accurate light showcase. 

I felt that the editing of my images was successful as I was able to show of my images in such a way that I felt they looked professional and was able add effects to the images to make them stand out. An example would be for one of my images I chose to use water to add the effect of refreshment, I then choose to separate the product from the background while keeping the watery effect present. I liken this work and felt that it showed of the product in a positive way.

If I had the choice to repeat the assignment, I would defiantly do a few things differently. Firstly I would use a proper studio. Next I would use proper equipment (an example would be that fact I had to use a reflective tin lid, rather than a mirror or something along the lines of that, due to the fact I was limited by the virus). Also I would've liked to experiment more maybe with dust or sand.
