Virtual gallery and evaluation – coco moore

This is my first virtual gallery, it has a few of my photos mainly the ones that show neglected and incorrect love, surrounded by social media.

In this second pat of my virtual gallery there are two comparison photos, that I did include in my final book, and prints.

Then I have these three roses showing the slow death between as each image goes by.

Evaluation.

This is my final and over all evaluation to my work and how it went throughout everything, during I have given evaluations of my parts, mainly my final photobook outcome, where I went into detail about my photos and the story it tells. over all I found my work went quite well, I enjoyed doing photoshoots, and artists studies, if I was going to do it all again I would probably take more photoshoots, and start earlier with them, I always find that I start flowing with ideas near the end and not all my images are perfect, some lighting I don’t love and even when editing it didn’t fix it, so if I went back I would be able to take more and have even more images so that I was prepared when things did go wrong, quite like how some of the images I wanted to use weren’t actually great or would have fit better if I had taken more images. Ideas always come to me near the end when I don’t have time I swear. I really enjoyed this topic, and personally a some main photos I would take more of are the comparisons as they were my favourite looks wise and in general to take, I just feel like my book could have done with some more throughout it. My artists studies also went well but could probably do with some more detail on the artist, what I did like about this as yes I used them as inspiration but I didn’t have to focus my topic on doing it exactly like the artist, I could really go down my own root, which felt a lot more freeing and let my own imagination come out, and show how I thought things where really going in my reality and feel a lot more like a real artists. Obviously my mood boards and mind maps aren’t the most exciting things and they show my first original fresh ideas, which I do enjoy that now I look back and see how I really trailed off an became something very new, and if I remade them now they would look completely different, but I enjoy you can see my whole journey and really see how my brain cooks and conjures ideas bouncing off one another. I then had my first day of the exam where the main task was to have images I wanted in the print folder, partly this was a little stressful because I’m not actually sure I had even finished editing my images yet and had no idea what I wanted in the print folder, by the end I had uploaded loads because I have learnt from past experiences that I never find I have enough, I also created an idea for them to all go together and make a massive presentation explaining the story in a different way to my book, and to continue keeping all my presentations yet stories different, as the way I present them is different in my photobook, prints and virtual gallery. I didn’t love how the prints came out because they actually came out very dark, and mounting up images is actually one of my least favourite parts, as much of a perfectionist I am I cant seem to have them perfect in my eyes, I love how they look and if anything its better then how I virtually made them there is juts the little tweaks and cracks that I see that bother me, like the image being to dark or a little jiggered slice here and there, but I really do like them. Then finally I finish off with the virtual galleries which again is not my favourite part compared to actually going out and taken photos and making a book, this is because I don’t think they best represent my work, not compared to what a real gallery would do, some images are hard to see and I don’t always have the best idea on how I want them to go and worry someone might not understand the order I picked. Through and through that is my project finished and I’m genuinely pleased with the outcome because I presented how I wanted to I got to really flow into my creative devices and I think that I have created something I can be really proud of.
