Maya did a great job of articulating her understanding of the principals and the designs. She was excited about having the freedom to use as many items as she wanted. She started slowly by using only a couple of items in the first few pictures. However, as she explored more into her compositions, she increased the number of objects and angles in her compositions. Maya also did a very good job of explaining the things she did and the way she controlled the camera. She also expressed that she wanted to try a slightly different approach to this project by placing the light in position two, instead of the way she had done with previous assignments, with the light source coming from behind the camera. It is evident in her photographs that she was able to achieve each effect and explain her understanding of the controls. She explained how she was able to manipulate the controls of her camera to achieve the lighting necessary. Since she and Cayton have been partners for the majority of the shooting sessions, they discovered together that while metallic paper gave off brilliant lights to the eye, unfortunately, the camera had trouble capturing it. So, they explored together and learned what worked best for them. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteHi Maya! I really enjoyed reviewing your photos for the Scale the Key project. I really enjoyed your broad light photos in which you were able to demonstrate your understanding of using broad light within your photos like in photo one with your light being positioned at position eight. The second photo also has a nice blur effect in which one can review the details in depth of the pinecone. Within the short light photos you used a lot of dark tones which are nice, but maybe a little too dark- thus making it hard to focus on the overall lighting and the subject becoming overwhelming. Within the studio light you also demonstrated a great understanding of every section of studio sunlight being, mid-day, twilight/blue hour, golden hour and the mixed lighting. In mid-day I love the first photo, although it seems to be a little blurry on all the subjects- same with the second mid-day photo. The twilight/blue hour first photo is one of my favorites from your project, but the second and third photo in this section appear a little too dark- but the composition of these are all great. The golden hour section seems to be a bit blurry and dark, as well as the mixed lighting, but I do love the red and green tones within the last photo. Overall I think you showed a great understanding of light placements, creating great compositions as well as the project over all. The only suggestion would be to make the photos less dark and focus more on the subjects. Great job on the project and keep it up!
