Assignment 3 Critique Part 2

Image 1:

Interpretation:  The class really liked this picture in showing the background over the people by choosing to not show the faces of the girls.

Evaluation: Everyone said that they liked the contrast but that there was too much lighting on the legs (which I did lighten) and it looked unnatural so I overdid it.

Extension:  I could use this image in showing more images with more faces missing in order to prove that faces do not show everything about a person: a lot of times it's more about body language.


Image 2:


Interpretation: The class liked this image as part of a series with all of my photographs.  They thought the angle was creative.

Evaluation: They said that I could have messed with the cropping or the contrast to emphasize different elements of the image.

Extension: I could use this image as a point of taking more images at interesting angles.  Angles that you usually do not look at images with.



Image 3:


Interpretation: The class thought this image showed a unique and very unusual angle compared to what someone would usually photograph.

Evaluation: They thought it did not really go with the series and I agree; the other three were much more cohesive and this image was kind of by itself.  They also said it had too much contrast which I definitely agree with.

Extension: I could take images of buildings from below like this and see how the distortion effects the image.



Image 4:


Interpretation: The class interpreted this image as the difference between a completed building and a building under construction; almost as though the reflection showed how the building under construction wanted to be like the other building or would eventually be like the other.

Evaluation: They liked this image as part of the series and thought that the building reflected was very clear and looked like it was duplicated in an unusual way.  

Extension: I like the idea of using reflections to show contradictions between the reflected image and the thing that the reflection is being reflected on.
