Two sides of a story - Cousins (reflection)

I was quite disappointed with my first assignment for this course. The idea I initially had did not come off as hoped which left limited time to scrape together another idea. This assignment was more opportunistic than planned and I think this really shows.

Aside from the many technical errors, such as badly focussed images and motion blur, my tutor was pleased with the content of some of my images.

‘The images you have chosen do give an impression of naturalness and a genuine lack of inhibition in front of the camera – this can be quite hard to achieve – well done! When the images are sharp and the point of focus is in the correct place the photographs are very emotive – you have good eye for composition and an ability to press the shutter at the right time.’

I was particularly pleased with this as I always aim for a genuine, honest feeling in my photography; I’m pleased that I have gone some way to achieve this.


My tutor pointed out that I am yet to complete my evaluation and recommended that I aim to decode some of my images using some of the knowledge gained during this chapter. I feel that this would be an interesting project as it would be interesting to see the differences between the images on either side of the story.
