Reflections Photography : Evaluation

I stuck to my idea pretty well throughout the process. I found making the dream catcher was not as hard as I had previously thought, however adding the photos proved to be a very difficult task that I spent a very long time on. Each photo had to be glued precisely to very thing string and then left to dry before moving on to the next ones. The strings would often get tangled and it was very easy to get confused and lost while doing this. I really enjoyed using the polaroid camera as an alternative to my normal dslr and I had a lot more fun with experimenting with it. My final photos could be better, however I think the simplisticness to them makes them seem more realistic and relatable which is the style I wanted to go for. I intended to add more of life in through the photographs, but this proved hard for me to re-create and I should have timed myself more accordingly for this. Overall I enjoyed the design of the set up and making it into kind of a 3D art piece was a lot of fun and something I didn't really think I would get to do again during my degree.  To me the polaroid style makes it a bit more unique and original and it's a style I would like to delve deeper into the future possibly.





The body of the dreamcatcher is blue while the web is white, representing the sky and clouds as if the photos are the stages of life to 'look up' or aspire to be/ have. The photos show pre made assumptions as to what uni life should be like and what the majority of us think uni will be like. Feathers were made out of materials associated with the polaroids to maintain the feel of the piece.
