Photography project  First of all, I am glad that I did change my final idea and re-make shooting. I can see that I had some mistakes with lighting and ISO, so some of my works was a bit blurred and not so clear as I expected. There is was a good idea to analyse other photographers works and made a research about work of lighting, emotions and angels of shooting witch in a result gives me more deeply understanding of what I would like to see in my own work and what the details and technical aspects I should do. On my opinion, I could do more deeply analyse of research and ideas before shooting, there is what I would like to do next time with my ideas, because now I realise how significant it is. But I had a lot of examples of street style photography from the profesionaplist photographers, which gives to me more ideas and point of view to the people and way in which I can show them. Thus, I still should to know and learn more about lighting and technical works with camera for better r
