Reflect on what you are grateful for with regards to the externship. What people have been helpful and supportive? Who would you like to thank? What experiences have been really valuable? What about the 4 weeks are appreciative for?
It was a great environment to work in, everyone was so kind and helpful. My mentor, she helped by giving me a lot of different ideas on how she wants the photos to be taken. Since it was one of my first time taking photos of products for a company, it felt different and it's just something that didn't interest me. To me, I like to become a photographer for weddings or events like those. It suits me better and I like working with ways that I know how. I would still love to thank my mentor for not only guiding me on what to do but she isn't a photography person herself but her vision on how she wanted the photos to look like were awesome and clear. She also gave me anything that I needed in order to take great photos. For example, she brought in a light house so I will not struggle on the lighting because everyone knows that lighting is one of the most important part in photography. I appreciate everyone that worked with me, the building is not so big and I felt like I took some space but nobody seemed to be bothered by that and also my annoying music that I would play out loud! This externship made me realize that photography is not that easy. It gets frustrating at times when it comes to getting the right angle or lighting. But it did make me want to beat that challenge and no career will be easy and I need to accept that, so therefore photography is something that will be in my future for a while but not so sure about a career.
