How I Improved as an artist
When I look back on my first photo I think I have improved slightly. Especially with the lighting and placement. If I continue to take photos I think I can get better and take truly good pictures. My first photo was a good example of showing that I had much to learn from this class. From the harsh lighting to the sideways angle, my first picture was not great. I feel that way because I know I could take a better picture, now knowing what I know.
