Critique


Maram: In her first picture, I really like her use of lines to compose the picture everything was proper focus and framed the subject nicely. Her color use is vibrant and detailed. The subject is very engaged with the camera, which gives this picture a nice format. The angle she used really extenuates the question he was being asked because she asked him a life question and the angle forms a shot of admiration bringing his answer to life. In the picture he also appears proud and happy of what he has accomplished. My favorite part of this photograph is definitely her use of color exaggeration.

In the Second picture of Maram’s I really appreciate her use of background to center her subject in a close up angle. She really took advantage of her background scenery to line up her shot and add in subtle color splashes throughout the photo to highlight her subject. I also noticed one small stray hair along her subject’s forehead, which can be distracting for such a detailed photograph I would have preferred she edited the hair out. So she really did a great job of using a shallow depth of field in this picture, it really brings out the detail in her subject as well as brings light to the background.

In her third photograph, she really focuses her subject almost making her subject look fake which looks really realistic almost like the person is 3-D, she framed her background perfect to square up the whole photo and not just her subject. She managed to push all the background to the very back and bring her subject into the very front foreground.  He’s also very well engaged in this picture with a picture perfect smile, based on the question she asked him I feel this picture really portrays his personality and captures his interest in physics.

In her fourth picture, her subject is gleaming with picture perfect qualities she is perfectly centered and this is a very balanced photo she uses her background nicely to even out the details on both sides of the photo. Her use of lines is very organized and makes focus on the subject. Her pops of color are very nice and not over whelming even though there are several colors. The subject very well portrays the question Maram asked her, she quote about the happiness of life, which is exactly how she appeared in the picture.

In her last photo, she perfectly centered her subject with just the right amount of background, she even used the shade in her depth to line up the subject almost right down the middle of the photo, even the lines on the bench are lined up very nicely to accent the subject her color usage is vibrant and delicate. His big smile definitely makes the photo a lot brighter only making want to focus in the center of the picture even more. His pose very much suits the humor he gave in response to Maram’s question.
