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.
