1) My strongest work this year would have to be my high key/low key photo. I would say this is my strongest work this year because I believe that it really exemplifies the concept of the project. My first photo, my high key, describes how the world sees me. In the photo I look quiet, closed off, and pretty dead. In my second photo, my low key, I am seen how I see myself. This is a sharp contrast to the first photo. I'm wearing the clothes I want to wear, laughing, relaxed, and me. It's easy to see how one photo looks like the shell of a person while the other photo looks like a real person. My second photo was actually a capture of a moment when I was laughing with friends behind the camera, so it wasn't even staged. This makes me happy because I feel like staged photography looses something as photography is really meant to be capturing a moment that can never be staged that way again.

2) My most meaningful work would have to by my Word of the Week photos especially the word of the week for Indecisive. Although the quality of the photo is relatively low I still feel like it is the most meaningful. I do believe that it comes across as corny, and it is, but to me it feels very relatable. Being a kid is confusing, especially when everyone else around you wants to be an adult and this brings about so many questions and a lot of them don't have answers. This concept of going to any source, even as unreliable as a magic 8 ball. This shows how when you are desperate, you will go anywhere for answers which is pretty relatable I think.

3) I would say my weakest work is probably my phobia project. I feel like the execution of the work was very on surface and I could have taken it to a lot of different directions which people had not thought of before. I usually want people to look at my photos and think about how they had never thought about something in that way before. I enjoy bringing people new perspectives and opening up their minds. As corny as that sounded, I feel like my phobia photo did none of that. It felt basic and one dimensional to me. I feel like I could have done that project a lot better and made a truly interesting photo. I could have made a composition which tells a story rather then displaying the phobia in the most basic way possible.

4) Of my works I would probably take my photo for Word of the Week: Distress and make it into a series of multiple works. I feel like this straight to the point, simple photo strikes a lot of emotion into the viewer. This feeling of anger and irritation is something that really makes people passionate and relate on a different level. I would enjoy to do a series of photos which might be something like common pet peeves of people. Showing different scenarios of things which really make people upset is powerful and allows the photographer to put emotion into the heart of the viewer, which I enjoy doing.
