Reflection:
Has your "eye" for the light, colour, etc changed? Is it still the same? What changed if anything? 
- I wouldn't say that anything has particularly changed, maybe I put more thought to the photo now, but honestly my style hasn't really changed. 

Do you apply all the rules when you shoot? Do you look at the light? 
- No, not really. I will see if the photo looks nice and the light is balanced, but I hardly look at the rule of thirds or anything else. Let's say I want to keep the photos as my own way of freedom, not applying any rules. 

Do you plan your shot, or hope for the best in post production (editing)?
- I do plan my photos, but not that much, if you know what I mean. Like if I see something nice I will take a photo of it. I don't think too much, just going with the feeling. I don't sit for hours to wait for the perfect sunlight or anything like that (respect to those who do that tho, those photos are amazing.) I Just personally don't do it. Also the camera quality really helps, hardly I ever edit my photos. Because it's film class I do it now, but before I liked (and still like) to keep the photos "natural". 

Are you attracted to a particular style of photography? 
- I'd say that I'm the most attracted to macro style. It shows every small little detail, and when you stare at it you notice more small things in the photo that you wouldn't see in, for example, a landscape photo. 

What questions might you have about the process?  
- I don't have any questions :D 

Which of these styles was easiest? Hardest? 
- The easiest for me probably was the landscape. 
- The hardest probably was the macro picture of my eye, because I needed to have it focused, nothing blurry, even my lashes, everything needed to be sharp also I needed my full eye in the picture. Then when I took the picture with a flash I needed to make sure that I didn't blink. It didn't take me that long to take the photo, but when you put everything together it sounds harder.
