Very nice shots this week! I love the Cafe photo, it has great exposure! I also think the lighting in the Henry at Lacock photo is very interesting. I'd like to see some brighter shots similar to Brianna in the streets of Bath shot because that one is very nice!
ReplyDeleteLove all your photos! One of my favorites is "Brianna in the streets of Bath." I love her expression with the bird on her head and how she's completely in focus and the background is blurred. I also really like your portraits of Henry and Brianna at Lacock Abbey, especially the landscape shots of both of them. It has the same background and location in both shots, but the way you edited each photo creates a different vibe for each photo. Like I feel Henry's photo has a stronger highlight while Brianna's photo has more of a darker, gothic vibe. The only critique I have is maybe include more variety in your selection of photos besides mostly portraits. But all together, great job! Can't wait to see your choices for your final portfolio!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the bird on Briana's head, it was captured at such a perfect time and you can really see the emotions of what was happening which I think makes it really awesome. its cool that you focused mainly on portraits this week but I think more variety would really make your portfolio stronger!
ReplyDeleteGreat job this week! I think my favorite is "Brianna in the streets of Bath." This is the definition of perfect timing and her reaction is so real and candid. These are all really great, but I would love to see some photos that are not portraits! Amazing work Meg!
ReplyDeleteI'm so honored to make it on your top five list :) I am laughing so hard at the photo of that pigeon on top of Briannas head... The black and white shot of the Parisian Cafe is very intimate and lively. I am immediately drawn to the expression on the face of the cello player because he is in the zone and jamming out. All of the portraits you posted this week are stunning. You're really skilled at capturing the natural expression on people's faces.
