BigStockPhoto.com - Concluded

Overall I have been happy with the results I have produced for this assignment. Given that this is my first ever 'creative' assignment and first time using a camera 'constructively', I think that results could have been worse. However with this in mind, there are many things I would like to improve upon:

• Post-production techniques
• Shot composition
• Camera hardware
• Tagging and categories

I felt that our group's interpretation of the brief was useful and beneficial to us all, because it has allowed us to take a wide range of photographs, fitting in within the 'objects' theme. Due to this being such a loose theme, we have been able to take photographs of practically anything we wanted.

To better improve my results, I would in future opt for taking photographs of objects against a white background, and then lift them from this. This is the type of image that sells most efficiently because it has a wide range of uses.

The type of image that I created is fairly limited in their use, mostly by mistakes of my own in choosing too-specific shot composition, in particular the focal object of the scene. My photographs may have been approved by BigStockPhoto.com for sale, but their application in the real world is somewhat hindered by my approach to the assignment brief. However I feel that I can take away the skills and lessons that I have gained and put them to practice in a different context, perhaps for making some money outside of University projects on the BigStockPhoto.com website.
