Sports and action and more details!

Name of photographer - Alyssa Schukar.

General focus of portfolio- I think it was made to show what an eating disorder can do to you.

List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio - 1. you couldn't feel the  love or the pain in the pictures. 2. also they weren't up close and personal like they wanted it. 3. it was more like a dark take.

List two things the judges like- 1. the judges liked the hati picture because it was the man and he has a nice background behind him. 2. The other judge liked the girl jumping over the hurtles because the way her legs landed.

What is your overall impression? What did you like or not like?

My first impression was i didn't like the first picture because it mad the girls story all mixed up, but some of the pictures were good and others weren't good at all.

Dustin Snipes:

What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it? His contrast and the angles he was taking his pictures from. They also liked that in one his pictures everyone was doing something. His contact sheet.

What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?

yes i did see his strengths he is a very good photographer. and yes  saw weaknesses i didn't like when he photo shopped his photo's to much.

Recap Video:

They went through all the photos that the kids took and criticized then like saying what they had to much of or to little of or what they could have done to make it better. That's how they decided the winner.

1. Describe one photo that you agree with the judges on. Explain why you and the judges do or do not like it.

I agree with the judges about the wave photo there could have been way more action in it that could have made it better. Like his had hitting the wave like they said.

2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong. 

 i did like the boxer photo i didnt think anythin was wrong with it theyy did.

Japanese Earthquake!

This photo makes me feel very sorry for them and scared because i couldn't imagine what it would be like to live on the streets with no roof over my head, i mean how would they shower or eat how can they afford to fix all of the damage. They used view point,  and leading lines.

This picture makes me feel sorry for her and the pain that she is feeling because if this happened to me i would feel like i would have nothing left in my life to live for because it was all ruined. This is using view point and balancing elements.

If the place i lived at got flooded i would be devastated because this makes me sad because you would have to wait till all the water gets dry and then clean everything then rebuild everything as well. This uses view point, and rule of thirds.

Touching People!

1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?

I like it because the pictures are very different which is good for people to meet new people but the fact that the people are nothing alike makes the picture even stronger.

2. What would you do if someone approached you with a camera and asked you to participate in a photo shoot and then asked you to touch a stranger?

 

I would do it because she just want to take a picture and to me that okay even if i had to touch a stranger as long as it isn't to touchy. 

3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.

 

Uhm maybe at the mall with a pretzel guy or  a guy dressed up as a girl and im the guy. 

4. Finally, tell me what you thought of the photography, did the photographer think about the rules of photography that you know about? What types of photos did he take? 

 

i thought the photography was different and i don't think think she was trying to be perfect which is good because it made the photo stronger. and i do think that the photographer did follow some of the rules. And i think he or she took unusually photo's.

Cool Advertising Idea!

I like this one the best because i like that the cheetahs represent Africa! I like the face that it would have signal there because in places like that usually don't get good signal for electronic devices. i wouldn't choose at&t service though because Ive never really liked it or the way that it is or how much it cost.
