I absolutely love your first two images! The black and white makes them dramatic and have a lot of character. One thing I really like about your self portrait image is the white behind you because it gives the audience a different point of view. One thing I would maybe change is cropping the last image so it is even with the camera and not as much wall space up top.
I think my favorite image is your second self portrait. I really like what you're wearing and the look of the worn window. I might like to see more of the window or maybe try placing yourself somewhere else in the frame other than in the center. But I think I respond more to this image because you brought elements like your clothes, the window, and the reflection in to give the photo more character. I also like your first image because I feel like I also get some sense of character in that photo. For the second portrait of someone you know I might try to play around with lighting or angles to make the image a little more interesting. Overall, great series of photos.
Meille, your photo series is really beautiful. I think your strongest photo is definitely the first one. I think his pose and your framing looks very aesthetically pleasing. I would push some of your self-portraits a little further, though. I find your second photo really intriguing, but it might be cool to see more of the window and have your body a little more centered in the frame. Maybe you can set up your camera on a tripod (or stack some books on top of a small table if you don't have a tripod), point it at a window and play a little more with different arm and body positions
Hi Meile. We talked about these, so I won't go into a lot of detail. I realize your husband is doing this as a favor and to help you out. Now take it beyond that! Get Crazy! Seriously, get crazy. Take risks. Don't play it so safe with him just because he's helping you out. These images are just that, safe images of him that won't make him more uncomfortable. Make him more uncomfortable! Good Luck!
I really enjoy the angle of the first image and the amount of contrast in the black and white. I think you did a good job at pushing the editing there. I think it would be interesting to use that same technique with the last series image!
