Abstract

Over the course of the senior project, I learned more about the world of photography itself and the business aspect of it. I spent many hours with my mentor discussing how she put her business together, how she got clients, and the type of work she does. I also learned how to she does her pricing to attract the right type of people to work with, as well as the type of image she wanted her business to have. Then she took pictures of me so I knew what it would feel like to be photographed, and she gave me pointers to try on my own. In addition, she gave me a mini project to do so I can adjust to lighting and what not. After, I took a lot of pictures on my own of various things so try out the pointers she told me, which went pretty well. Finally, on my trip in D.C., I took over 800 pictures that I need to upload and edit to show her as a final project kind of thing.
