Independent Photography Project
I had trouble with this one, as with all creative endeavors for other projects. A project of my own, I didn’t know where to start since typically I do things based on guidelines. I weirdly remembered a picture that showed a photographer taking a photo of him doing so with the use of mirrors. I decided to replicate the photo, seeing that I could not think of anything else to do. I set up a tripod aimed at the left-side of my car, which I wanted to use the right side mirror, and a small hand mirror. I placed the hand mirror on another tripod and I went back and forth, slowly moving the mirror into position. I spent a couple hours doing this until I decided to have someone hold the hand mirror to save the minor adjustments. The final product is one that I am not proud of, since I wanted to have the picture of me looking into the camera, the hand mirror was not large enough. An improvement that could have been made was to take a photo zoomed out, showing the direction the lens was pointing at but, I forgot to do so.
