Strengths And Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Lighting (Studio and outdoor)
  • Texture
  • Color
  • Motion
Weaknesses
  • Composition 
  • Color Scheme
  • Depth of Field
This photo does a great job of Rule of Thirds. The subject is positioned on the right, which allows space for other elements on the opposing side to be noticed. The bow is also tilted diagonally which represents another useful key element in composition. The lighting is very contrasted, and makes all the black in this photo stand out,  as well as the light source was positioned in a way to allow the model and prop to cast shadows. What makes this photo interesting and engaging, is the fact that it makes us think as we look at it. Why is the model in such a tight corner, what does the bow represent, what were the intentions of the artist, how does this make me feel?
This photo is something I aspire, due to the successful usage of colors.
The tones are very muted and warm. From the skin, to the hair, to the wall, the colors make
the photo what it is.  The lighting is very even and the shadows being where they are
help create depth to the photo. As far as composition, our eyes are drawn to the hands,
which represents a great use of composition



This is photo I took as I attempted
to imitate the use of rule of thirds in
composition, and also a more washed out
look while playing with colors!

Concentration Part 5 (Self-Harm)




Tolerance

For my Tolerance Piece, I chose the idea of perfection. It's something almost everyone strives to achieve and struggles with, because they're blind to their true potential. I chose a peacock feather because it's bright and beautiful, and for this piece, represents beauty. The girl I'm trying to portray in the photo attempts to cover her face with the feather to look beautiful, but in the process she's blocking her eye. This shows that by having this false idea of perfection (the feather) in our heads, we cannot see that we all are indeed beautiful, flaws and all.
