Evaluation

So now Im here and I've reached the end. Lets look back on this assignment. From day one when we received the brief i thought oh god here we go. The reason i felt like this was before this project i previously had hardly any experience with the Hasselblad. I had set up a studio in my own home but not in the studio. The main things that caused me the problems this assignment were:

*models

*Hasselblad

*capture one

now models they are brilliant providing they don't cancel on you and leave you on a tight rope luckily i managed to retrieve the control again and get another model in. I have to say at those time they test you to the limit till you feel like cracking (as i did and was ready to give up)but the best thing you can do is stop welling on it move on and start sorting another shoot(which is what i did). I think with this assignment I've learnt how to deal with a model canceling on me as its happened 2 times now, and the after math.

Now Hasselblad when it came to the lighting setting up i managed but the technical side of the cables and the Hasselblad i was lost. My problem is with things i don't feel confident with i avoid like the plague and that is what i did with my first year. And my development compared to my class mates when it came to studio was far far behind.So again i have learnt that when unconfident with something don't sit back silent in the background speak out and force yourself to learn things your not sure about.

And capture one. when using capture one i had never used it before so again i was lost but after having to learn how to use it i feel relatively confident with it now.

This assignment has had me the most stressed I've been in the past 2 years having to learn new skills and feeling so unconfident. To be honest I'm glad its finished. But i am glad i have learnt these new skills and i know that next time i get a studio brief i know how to approach it and how to set up and i don't think i will be as stress in future(plus i will be a lot more confident).
