Fieldwork Lessons Learned

Our community media team got together and reflected on the last fieldwork assignment (photographing portraits and community spaces) and came up with ideas on what's was 

  • the best part about fieldwork
  • the hardest part about the fieldwork
  • what they'd do differently
Here's what the came up with...

Best Part
The assignment had a variety of images to take
Learning how to take pictures in the car
Taking portraits of people
Taking pictures in general
Using the different camera settings
Taking video

Hardest Part
Finding time to do the assignment
Getting transportation to go to place to shoot
People don't always let you take pictures of them
Choosing what you want to take pictures of
Having a variety of images to take

What We'd Do Differently
Make a schedule to know when we'll do the assignment
Take more time when composing shots
Be careful who you let take pictures of you (when doing self-portrait)
