Evaluation
For this shoot, I went to the National Portrait Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum for my art trip. On this trip I made sure that I captured plenty of photographs to demonstrate depth and interesting compositions for my photography project. I filled every frame with ongoing arches through the gallery or down ancient styled staircases. These style of photographs were the most creative to me and I feel like they improve my project. Going with the theme of depth has been successful and has made my enjoyment of taking these kinds of pictures extremely entertaining. I had a great time at the gallery and museum and found a large variety of photographic objects for example, the old stylish spiral staircase that had an entrance but no exit. In the gallery I also found a collection of portrait stained glass windows which reflected in a glass stand in front of it. This constructed an extremely detailed and attractive photograph as the formal element colour stood out.

| This photograph of the library was by far the most successful photograph of my shoot. I took this one because it is a major improvement from the library picture I shot on college campus in shoot 4. It was not my intention to improve this library picture as I had no idea that there would be a library in the Victoria and Albert Museum. However, I saw it and originally wanted a depth picture of it because taking depth photography means that I am able to capture a whole room/scene in the frame instead of close up photography. It's a big step up from the college library photograph as it's more stylish and detailed for a photograph worthy piece. |

| This was another photograph of mine that was successful during this shoot. The reflection is coming from a glass table that was in the middle of the room, whilst these pieces of stained glass were up on the wall in front. It demonstrates an evidence of reflection which I couldn't not include. It's also a different way of photographing light, as the stained glass is only extremely colourful because of the light behind it in the room. Without the use of the light, there would be no colour or art evident in this piece. I previously shot evidence of light photography in shoot 2 through a crystal portraying the colours of the spectrum, and this image of stained glass is another way to convey different colours through class with light. |
Progression
For the next shoot, I'd like to look at some more surreal photography because I found a truck load of enjoyment through creating the pictures and piecing them together in shoot 6. I mentioned that I'd like to create some more surreal pieces in the future of my project and now is when I want to study it in more depth. I have created an inspiration post on the types of photos that I'd like to take but have also demonstrated some images below for further inspiration. I feel that it would be a great idea for me to expand on my surreal photography as lots of these images are usually overflowing with evidence, which then brings it all back to my project. In my shoot 6 work diary I explained how I'd like to progress my project through looking at abnormal pictures, therefore all of those images will be attempted in shoot 10 of mine. I don't feel as though I'd be able to progress my art gallery pictures because I feel that they are already of a good standard, however if I was ever to go back, or perhaps to another art gallery, I would most certainly look at some more depth photography as these seemed to be the most successful. I'd also look for more stain glassed windows aswell as these create beautiful reflections and colours. However, for the next shoot I will be creating some photo montage pieces with inspiration from my shoot 6 progression section. Below are a few more examples of the kind of images I'd like to recreate in the future, as the glasses being the main focal point in the photographs really stands out through the lenses containing the most colour; one of the most eye capturing formal elements.
