Overall, I felt very comfortable following the key workflow stages. I was impressed with how much my time management has improved as a result of this exercise. Having all the technical aspects of the assignment in place meant that I was able to concentrate purely on the creative side of the process which helped to achieve satisfactory results. The workflow was sufficiently suitable for an indoor studio photo session and I will use it again in the future. I am confident that it will further improve with practice.
Lessons learnt:
1. Using the workflow was enjoyable and satisfying and I did not feel restricted or limited in any way. I’ve learnt the importance of achieving a balance between having a structure in place and leaving enough room for flexibility. I’ve also learnt to be always prepared to depart from the plan if necessary.
2. Advance preparation saves time where you’d need it most - on location. Visualising the session in advance helped to focus on achieving my aims.
3. Add FLASH, Review and Repeat routine is very useful on location but could be equally helpful for making selections (particularly collections).
4. It helps to have a flowchart and to follow a summary of actions rather then having to plough through pages of tasks.
