So gathering words from my last few posts and having had a think this is a rationale:
This project will provide me with the skills to work as a freelance photographer. I plan to aquire more camera skills through research and gain a more advanced knowledge of a DSLR. I also plan to allow myself to be submersed in working with clients, to give up individual art direction and allow my client to have a strong input in the photography. I will gain skills in working with people and a knowledge of the industry in which I may go into after my degree.
