Amber : In her first picture, I really like her use of lines
to compose the picture. Her use of the tree with the subject was really well
done because it gives it a very balanced composition. I like the way she used
the shadow to accent the subject.
Everything was proper focus and framed the subject nicely. To change
this photo I would have lightened up the shadows and exaggerated the colors
more. He doesn’t seem very engaged in the camera. I would adjust the use of
light in this picture by maybe him in a more shady area.
In the Second picture of Amber’s I really like her use of
background lines to frame the exterior and interior of this photo. I also
really like the pose of the subject it gives insight to how the subject is engaging
with the camera. Her use of light in regards to the trees is very well captured
is almost makes the image glimmer. I would have tried to bring out the colors a
little bit more to make the subject pop. His pose also very well describes his
honor in achieving his greatest accomplishment. I also think she could of
edited the photo a little to clean up the details a little better in this
picture.
In her third photograph, she could have focused her subject
a little more in the center or given the photo a bit more background to the
right side to balance out both sides of this angle. She framed her background
perfect with the tree but the over all balance is lacking. The subject is also
very well engaged in this picture with a picture perfect smile, based on the
question Amber asked her, I feel this picture really portrays her passion for
what she’s accomplishing.
In her fourth picture, even though only the girl on the left
is her subject of question the picture is framed nicely but I would have tried
to remove some of the clutter to the left side of the photo to balance the
picture a little bit more. I would have also tried to line up the building in
the background a bit more or cropped some of it out of the picture to make it
look a bit more vertically straight because this distracts the subjects. I also think that if the male had
removed his sunglasses the overall pose of both people would have shown them to
be very engaged.
In Amber’s last photo, this one is my favorite the subjects
pose gives a sense of humor to the whole picture, I can tell he is very well
engaged and confident in this picture I feel like maybe there is a friendship
among the subject and the photographer. I really like her use of colors and the
shapes of the larger rocks that matches nicely with the sand and line up the entire
image vertically and horizontally. This picture is a very good example of the
rule of thirds. I also really like the background it makes this picture
perfect.
