This unit has been one of my favourite projects on the year. The individual project was about coming up with a topic on my choice and creating a website featuring the new pieces of work plus, my work from previous units. Over the course of the year I feel I have improved lot both in my photographic skills and my written work. Starting the course I did not have a strong idea on the direction I wanted to take my photography, after completing all of the previous units I now have discovered I have a passion for working with portraiture and even documentary work. Having different units helped me explore my strengths and weaknesses, made me try new elements within photography like documentary. The technical workshops I have completed throughout the year have helped me develop a lot as a photographer, I can now confidently use every piece of equipment independently in the photography department.

Artist research has been a big part in my development throughout the year. Looking at other photographer really helped me gain inspiration for my own work, research helped me approach my photographic practice in different ways, learning how other photographers work made me look and question my own way of working. Looking at other photographers helps me not only to find inspiration but have a level of work to aspire to. As I look over my work throughout the year I find that my artists research becomes more in depth, when looking into an artists I now talk more about their images then their date of birth, practicing artists research has helped me gain an understanding about what researching an artist really means.

Overall I am happy with the results of my final project for the year, I believe the work I have created for this unit is a reflection of how much I have developed as a photographer. If I was able to re-visit a part of this unit I would have liked to have used more of a wide range of models. I have never had the opportunity to work with a professional model so this is something I would like to do in the near future as I would like to compare results with my previous work. I am happy with the way my website came out I think it shows audiences a reflection of my abilities and my potential. To conclude I believe I had made lots of progress throughout this academic year both in my photographic ability and in my theory work, I will continue to work hard and progress even more with every unit I complete.
