Main project reflection

 Finally my project was posted on my website. You can see it here. 



I think both the idea and execution of the project are good. In my opinion, I could add more photos or the story would be more elaborate and detailed. Nevertheless, the problem that I wanted to show is shown, i.e. littering the streets. I am very frustrated with the fact that people throw a lot of garbage on the streets. It looks very ugly. While doing the project, I found out that this is a huge problem. 



Now I think I don't like the way of pasting a photo book on a website. I think I will use the other options available in the Wix.com builder for my next project. Anyway, I'm glad I could do this project. I got to know a lot of interesting tools that can help me in my work in the future. I developed skills using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Canva. I got to know useful websites Canva, Flipsnack, Flipbook, Wix.com.  I also developed my photography skills.

Promoting Myself to Employees: Target Market

In this post I wanted to focus on finding a job as a photographer. So I did some research on job offers in the UK.  Promo film on wix.com I looked through a dozen or so advertisements for jobs as a photographer and selected the most important skills. 1. A creative spirit 2. Proficiency with photographic principles 3.The ability to use a variety of cameras and lenses 4.To stay current with evolving technology 5. The capacity for meeting deadlines 6. A keen sense of shape, color, and form 7. Effective communication abilities 8. Expertise with digital technology and imaging programmes 9. Effective organisation techniques 10. A strong portfolio  11. Social media skills Looking through the offers, I noticed that many employers are looking for people with experience. As an additional skill for the photographer, it is expected that he/she will also be able to shoot and edit films. In the future, I would like to develop my photographic skills even more, as well as learn how to shoot and edit f

Architecture photography

A week ago we were taking pictures of architecture in the city of Leicester. We went for a 2 hour walk around the city. Below I put a contact sheet and a selection of four photos. All photos were taken with Nikon Z6 camera with Sigma Art 35 mm 1.4 lens. I like the first photo because of the interesting building painted in stripes. I also like the reflection of the light from the skyscraper that is behind in the background.     35mm  F/10  1/200 s ISO 100 For the next picture I liked the inscription on the street, I took this picture vertically. The street was empty                               35mm  F/8 1/200 s ISO 100 The next photo shows the facade of the building, which is made of interesting metal window sills.      35mm  F/8  1/50 s  ISO 100 I liked the last photo I chose not only because of the architecture but also because of the light coming from between the buildings.     35mm  F/8  1/160 s ISO 100  

Ideas Generation

My project stems from my frustration. I often cycle around Leicester City. I love nature and I love being outdoors. What scares me is a lot of rubbish lying on the streets. I often see young people throwing garbage on the street. This is a common phenomenon in the UK. I do not like this. Rubbish in Leciester is everywhere. There are even plastic bottles floating in the canal. This problem needs to be shown and people must be made aware of the great evil they are doing. I have visited many countries in my life. I have a comparison to, for example, Switzerland. It is one of the most beautiful and clean countries in the world. Being there one feels at peace and is happy. My idea is to create a virtual dramatic photo story. Where the main character dies, overwhelmed by the fact that there is garbage everywhere. The title of my project is "A sad story about littering" Pexels.com
