I think your pictures for the 3rd prompt are awesome! I can tell exactly the kind of person this is without seeing them. I also like the way the drawings add dimension to the photos without there being real life dimension. I would personally say that your first picture for "someone you know" is kind of confusing. While the colors are cool it looks like you layered 2 images but I am not sure what the colorful picture is of and i dont think it adds to the photo.
Props to you for submitting more than the minimum requirement! I always am scrapping together what I would consider “decent” photographs so it’s nice to have more to choose from! Speaking of choosing, I’m going to choose the ones I think are the most successful such as the second photo for #1. There’s something about the particular way she’s looking into the camera and what looks like she’s leaning forward a little that makes it seems like she’s going lean right through the screen. That’s a confusing way of saying I like the depth. For the third challenge, I like the first and third the most. I might mess around with editing the first a little differently because the background kind of blends in with the sketchpad and a nice clear break between the two would make the image more striking. Nice job!
Hi Skylar. I think we discussed most of my concerns in class. More, more, more body language! Also directness. Sure there is sweetness to your portraits, but have the subject look directly into the camera. Have them engage us or even confront us! Exposure and editing on all of them look great. I am however torn about the color in the ones with the glass wall. They feel photoshop-ed or edited to look this way and therefore become an effect. Perhaps it's just not my style! Show us more and have them engage us visually. Good Luck!
