Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1) Some challenges were that in some classrooms the people in the background would move and you couldn't get a clear shot.
2) I thought about my angle the most. In the photograph of the backpack, I bent down to be eye-level with the table to get a good photograph.
3) I would get above the subjects more and make some of the shots look cleaner/neater. Also in some photos the peoples heads get cut off so I could do a better job framing the subjects.
4) I really liked the photo of the backpack so I would keep that one the same and I also would keep the photo of the 2 girls drawing the same.
5) The easiest I think is the rule of thirds. You simple have to change your position to get a nicely posed photograph.
6) Line would be the hardest to capture because a lot of the photos are of people who don't have a lot of definitive lines in their shape or environment. Perhaps the pillars in the halls or outside could capture line.
7) I'm not totally clear on how to balance my photos out or which ones need less or more to balance them.

Sensory Overload

1) I think it's an interesting statement to make after photographing all those material things. I do agree with this statement because we all have favorite things that we hold on to and lots of material items in our lives. This makes me think about my photos in a different way because they sort of are our possesions that we are attached to even if they aren't physical items. 2) I would want to visit this place because it looks very interesting, but maybe not photograph because theres so much going on and so many subjects in each little section, it'd be hard to get a clear composition. 3) I think it would be an awesome almost magical place because theres all these colors and toys and other cool things it just seems really interesting. 4) My favorite photo is the one with the stuffed animals. The toys are everywhere, on shelves, hanging from the ceiling, and on the ground. It's so jam packed full of all these familiar charcters like mario, frozen, shaun the sheep, l...

Portraits and Self Portraits

My 2 favorite tips are- 1. Introduce a Prop Add a prop  of some kind into your shots and you create another point of interest that can enhance your shot. Yes you might run the risk of taking too much focus away from your main subject but you could also really add a sense of story and place to the image that takes it in a new direction and gives the person you’re photographing an extra layer of depth that they wouldn’t have had without the prop. 2. Setting  The settings in which you make pictures of people are important because they add to the viewer's understanding of your subject. The room in which a person lives or works, their house, the city street they walk, the place in which they seek relaxation—whatever it is, the setting provides information about people and tells us something about their lives. Seek balance between subject and environment. Include enough of the setting to aid your image, but not so much that the subject is lost in it. Environmental Portra...
