In our Wednesday photography class, we discussed a fly on a wall concept discussion. We would get paired up into small groups and listen as our peers would critique our work in front of us while we sat back and took notes. In my specific group I was paired up with Emily and Ellen, both wonderful photographers as I witnessed their work as well. As my turn was up, I took notes of what Emily and Ellen discussed. First off the bat, their attention was caught off the bat as the photos I took were stunning. "Pretty neat" seem to come out of Ellen as she viewed all of my photos I took. Incorporating color in my photos, both Emily and Ellen agreed that I had good color in my photos...the tans, whites, darks, and brights, it made the photo stand out more and think I wouldn't have gotten a "as good" photo like I did if it was taken in black and white. Emily stated I was good giving attention to detail in my photos...sort of taking my time with the composition, making sure things are centered and right. Ellen also discussed that I was good at filling the picture with bones...giving the viewer multiple spots to look at rather than just staring at it as a whole. Focal points was well executed too in my project. Abstract was a vocabulary word used in my 'You Know Better' photos. Ellen said I did a beautiful job in executing the exposure photos. The viewer can tell the progression in quality both Emily and Ellen said. Overall, I did a good job as far as staying to the fundamentals and executing the perfect photo. Some of the things I could've worked on was changing up the composition in my how deep part.
Jay presented a great understanding of lighting and how to work with the light and the controls on his camera to create interesting and effective images. Jay was able to elaborate on how he had to direct his partner in order to capture the right kind of lighting needed to cast deep shadows to create interesting texture and lines. He spoke with ease and a sense of confidence about his work and clearly showed that he knew his process and was able to explain it to the group. Jay talked about his struggles getting the light to reflect back in to his composition when working with twilight hour light. Again, that seemed to be a universal theme among the group. Overall, Jay clearly understood the principals and elements used in his compositions and was able to articulate that in an educated manner to the rest of the group. Good Jay and keep up the great work!
