Upon receiving this brief, I was a bit worried about how well I would do with it. I also had a bit of a worry as to which route I would take, when asked to put ourselves into groups I initially chose the editorial route as I didn't think any studio work would be beneficial to me as a street photographer, but after speaking with my tutor I decided to give the work placement route a go. Although I am a street photographer, I would be learning the valuable aspects which come with running a business on a daily basis.
As I have mentioned throughout this blog, Photoshop is something that I don't really have a good relationship with, I think it's more something that I have never really had much experience with, as a street photographer I don't see I have much of a need with it, but I also realise that to go into any job as a photographer there is a basic amount of knowledge that I would need to stand any chance of landing this job. Whilst working on my placement, I had a great opportunity to see how someone with a great knowledge of it works, and to see the ease of use when you have this knowledge.
Since I've moved over to the interview route of things, I've started to think that maybe I should of taken this route from the start. That's not to say I didn't enjoy my placement, or get anything useful out of it, I just think now that I've reached out to people in my field, I could of made more use of the questions and the time I have had. The questions and answers would of been a lot more relevant to me and my practice.
I've enjoyed this brief as a whole, but as I have mentioned above, I know now that I should have took the route that would have been most beneficial to me in the end, there's nothing like hindsight eh?
