Once I got given advice and feedback from my tutor and fellow colleagues, I decided to capture other cluttered areas to expand my project, in this instance, my garage.
I carried on using a disposable camera, to see how the film aesthetic looked in this environment, and photographing approaches I've used in my first shoot (close ups, flat angle shots etc.). I also photographed using the flash for certain images, for experimentation.

Overall the photographs didn't come out as well as I had hoped, as I remember taking more photos with interesting angles or subjects. However either some of the images didn't develop correctly, were too out of focus due to photographing close up, or the flash overexposed the image. Some of the images work well, but other times they don't. For example I like how Image 1 subtly shows the boxes, but it would obviously look better if the image was clearer and brighter. Nonetheless the other images shown here show various aspects of the garage with a gritty but amateurish aesthetic that coincides with archive imagery normally found at home in a draw, for example.
In order to improve I would use a different technique when using a disposable camera; I would always use a flash and continue to experiment with it, alongside using a digital camera, because I think the disposable nature of the camera works well with the theme of the project.
