Editorial Evaluation.

I really was trying to think hard on how I could do an editorial on extraordinary. At first I thought on disabled people and the extraordinary things they can achieve but I thought everyone would be doing that. So  I thought about the life saving equipment in north tees hospital I thought that would be a good thing to start, but after having an editorial I was told to leave that idea and take portraits of my dad with a white background so I did and hated every single one of them. I do find that if its someones elses idea im not that good at doing it. I then took a photo of my fireplace by accident while I was trying to take the cat and have a bit of a play about with the camera, I noticed my entire life was on the fire place I then went upstairs and took pictures of my daughters shelf and realised hers was the same. The next time I was at uni having a crit I showed the lecturer who wasn't that impressed but found some old photos Id took at trying to do a Morden day Cinderella and he really liked them and I was told to do my project on shoes which is ok with me as I love shoes. I did my first one with the wizard of oz shoes and staged it to look as if the witch had been squashed with the house so all I took was legs but instead of a house I wanted them to look as if they past out drunk and the red hot poker shoes, but again I was told they didn't like the idea and I needed to take shoes in random areas which I felt didn't really go with my idea. Every photo there after I hated taking as I didn't feel like this was my idea and I found it very difficult I managed to put a few little twist of my own In a few of the images but other than that I didn't feel like it was my project. I did find that I pushed my self to experiment with how I was taking the shoots with flash as I hate using flash I think it makes the photo to bright sometimes. I also tried hard to make the photo interesting but some give a hint of the storys behind the shows in a little gesture as I was told not to make it obvious. I was disappointed with most of the photos I took but I kept pushing myself to see if I could find better places to make my photos look great. I really tried to do something like the photographers I managed to research but mainly I really wanted to have my own touch to them saying I wanted to make story's out of them.  If I was to do this project again I would follow my own ideas and take into account the suggestions of the lecturers as they both have very different opinions and I found I just felt confused on how to approach my project and I ended up unhappy and still feel confused. I did have problems at the end of the project as my loan money hadn't come in and I couldn't afford to get them professional printed so I printed them out myself and also had a major problem as I deleted all my Cinderella and first iron hot poker shoes from the 3 back ups I had put them on and the only copies I had where on facebook so I had to down load them for my final prints as the Cinderella ones everyone liked and I felt that one of them had to be in my final print , so unfortunate the file size is really small for these 2 pictures.
