The final week of this semester! It’s been a bit strange, doing an online intensive course during the summer, but I have had a really good time doing it. My classmates were very involved, which I appreciate and it’s always nice when you can collaborate and brainstorm together. As well as a very good teacher (thanks Brian) to help you out when you need it.

This final week for me has seen my work all come together. Not going to lie, it was extremely tough to motivate myself to sit down and complete what I needed to complete, but I feel very relaxed and proud writing this final blog post.

I have learnt a lot during this semester, from the different types of photography, to different photographers that I’ve discovered through my own research and my classmates. I now have a larger understanding of the photography industry and how it incorporates itself into our forever changing society and life. We watched extremely cool films about extremely talented photographers and did projects that really challenged us to expand our knowledge. I have learnt a lot from this class, about photography and what I want to do in the future for it. I will continue to learn about William Eggleston and Vivian Maurier, two photographers that I get inspiration from daily. To the continued confusion with the ethics of street photography, said by readings from Kim Eric and Jessica Lake, to how to set up lighting for your photos, to how to utilise the manual mode with Sean Tucker and so on. Thank you Brian for the great class!

With my final assignment, I have completed the article. I did little editing to the photos to increase their authenticity and to not alter my experiences of what I saw. And complete, a 10 page PDF named ‘Williamstown: Through the Eyes of a Traveller” by Neve Condon (s3717554)

Thank you again!
