After receiving feedback on the images from my seventh shoot- I felt quite dejected as my tutor simply dismissed my work without giving it a chance and suggested that I photographed the images without thinking, which wasn't the case; as a result I didn't take any pictures after that and concentrated on other work. But once I spoke to Sam Welburn, a post graduate photography student, I felt inspired to photograph again, despite not feeling the most confident about my project.
Following the feedback given by Sam, I went back to the attic using a digital camera, something I haven't done since my first shoot, and photographed aspects of the attic not depicted before; I've decided to eschew using a disposable camera for now, as it wasn't giving me the images I wanted, and because it was difficult to use in a dark environment like the attic or garage.

Using approaches harking back to my initial artists, I think these images came out well, with the lighting directing the looks of the images and the interesting choice in angles. The decision to concentrate on the attic again has focused my project into something personal again, rather than diverging off to the garage and using a disposable camera.
However if I were doing this shoot again I would try to experiment with the depth of field, specifically in Image 6 where a shallower depth of field might've worked; I may also use location lighting to see if that improves the pictures.
