This piece is a collage of a photo I took of a flower on a mirror. I came up with this composition by experimenting with angles and placement of the flower. My intention with this shot was to show the details of the back of the flower, that people don't usually see. The main influence was Travis Rathbone. This is because his photos are bold and they bring the focus to the product.

What have I learnt from this course?

During my course, I have learnt how to use Photoshop and Lightroom to an expert level and how to create an animation using Photoshop. I have also learnt how to research effectively.

What is my advice for anyone joining the course?​

For anyone starting this course, use your time efficiently. Never hesitate to use a composition or lighting setup someone else hasn't tried yet. It could be that shot which gets you to the next level.

Next year I will be progressing to Level 3 Photography.
