Poses





 WALL
Location: Q - Court
Problems:  Washed out background 
I chose this photo because I really like the angle I took it from and it looks really crispy
I think if his face was brightened up a little bit this photo could have been better.


WILD
Location: Q - Court
Problems: The spots on her face from the suns reflection
I really like the glow on my models face and the environment shes in makes her stand out like a diamond
If the background wasnt that washed out it would have been perfect.
 WILD
Location: Q - Court
Problems: Washed out background and random person
This photo stood out because of his creative hand gestures and body positioning which made this photo interesting to me.
This photo could be improved if the background was dimmer and not as bright.

 SIT
Location: Q - Court
Problems: I didnt have any problems
This photo stood out to me the most because his hair looks nice and the angle gives him an innocent look .
I cant think of a way to improve this photo .
 Environmental
Location: Q - Court
Problems: Washed out background
This photo stood out to me the most because it shows how strong he is and how much he cares about recycling.
This photo could easily be improved if the background wasnt washed out.










SIT
Location: Q - Court
Problems: Washed out background
This photo stood out to me the most because her smile looks amazing and the background looks nice
This photo could be improved if the background was a little less washed out
Wild
Location: Q - Court
Problems: the background looks slightly washed out
This photo stood out to me the most because the quality of the photo looks crispy and well defined.
This photo could be improved if the background had a little more color instead of it being so washed out.
 TALL
Location: Q - Court
Problems: there is a random color strip on the left side of the photo
This photo stood out to me because he looks dominant from the angle i took it from and it makes my model look strong.
This photo could be improved if the random strip wasnt there.
WALL
Location: Serra High School
Problems:random trash can in the background
This photo is my best one in my opinion because her face has a nice glow and not only is the subject in focus but the variety of color in the background makes her stand out.
This photo could be improved if the trash can in the background wasnt there.
After the entire post answer the following questions:


 TALL
Location: Q - Court
Problems: random kid in the background
I chose this photo to be part of my favorite photos because I used a couple techniques to make this photo a little more interesting. I used the ceiling for leading lines and I positioned myself lower so that i could create "bigger" look on her.
This photo could have been better if the randy in the background didnt photo bomb my models photo shoot. 











 The most challenging element of this assignment was positioning my model in the right environment so that the background didnt get washed out because that happened a lot and I overcame this by focusing on my model and the background at the same time.

My photography skills have definitely been improving because now I know many techniques that I could use for future photos. When I started taking photos I always kept the subject in the middle and now I use rule of thirds and I get real low or move into different places to get good angles.

I want to learn how to film skateboarding / motion picture .

  • What was the most challenging element of this assignment? How did you overcome this challenge?
  • Explain how your photography skills have changed/improved since September (i.e. what are you more confident in now, what technical challenges/issues have you overcome, etc.)
  • What things are you interested in learning before the end of the year?
