This project forced me to deal with the technicalities of what makes a good photograph. In previous projects I had been able somewhat to ignore the use of lighting, aperture, etc., and simply leave these elements up to chance, but my lack of technical skill was very obvious at the outset of this project. Because of the white background and straightforward composition of the photographs making up this digital collage, bad lighting was very obvious in the color of the shadows, the brightness of the photographs, and the tint of the background. Because I had to normalize every photo to create a homogenous collage, I became more aware of these elements, and became more adept at photoshopping to remove these discrepancies.
