This week I submitted my first real school assignment that actually matters, my images for the first showcase, which is to show if I have learned what the first course was about. In theory for this photography school, we don't actually have to attend any lessons during two years, we could just do the required showcases to display our knowledge of that area of photography and get the papers out saying you know your shit.
The first course was about the basics of photography, understanding shutter speed, aperture and ISO, and how to use them for the results you want. We were also learning some basics of using speed light. For the showcase we were instructed to send about 10 good different types of images, showing variety of skills. It was also recommended to send in images that show your own artistic view or style so we could get feedback on those too.
I'm pretty happy with the images I chose and I think I have shown pretty well the different styles of photographs I can produce. I wanted to put in quite a lot of my black and white photos because those I like the most myself and I think they have the greatest impact and can stand the test of time.
