Sports/Action More Details

Runner up

Problems

• Photos don't have a constant subject (photo of wave)
• Photo should include words to tell the viewer what the photo is about
• Didn't do a good job with artificial lighting

Good Things

• Good lighting in photos
• Good composition (most photos in focus, good color balance)

Opinion

I was very impressed with this portfolio; I like many of the photo. I was very amazed at how good the lighting was in many of his photos.

Winner

Dustin Snipes
 (Sports Portfolio)

Strengths-Judges

•  Good color balance
• Nice Compostion
• The photographer took me of the photos as if he was actually participating in the events

Strengths-My thoughts

• Many of the photos were in focus

Contest ReCap

What the judges went through

• The judges argued a bit about who they wanted to be the winner of the competition. But, the voting was pretty unanimous. They knew they had to choose the portfolio where every single one of the photos were strong.

Agree

• I agree with the judges for picking the photo about the subject winning the tennis match in the no pro/no college category. I really like the photo, its very strong. The lighting is great in the photo. 

Japanese Earthquake

This photo makes me feel very shocked and dumbfounded. This is one of the last things I expected to happen. The photographer most likely took the picture with a high shutter speed because the photo is very clear.

This photo makes me feel worry and uneasy. It makes me think about how Japan is going to recover from this tragic event.

This photo makes me feel very sad. It sad that someone had to die this way. The photographer follow the simplicity rule. 

Touching People

1.) What do you think about this project and photo essay?

• I believe it is a interesting project. Its very different from others I've heard and seen. Its very funny to see how the people pose and how awkward they look.

2.) What would you do if someone approached you with a camera and asked you to participate in a photo shoot and then asked you to touch a stranger?

• I would do it, I think it would be fun.

3.) Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.

• Have a cup full of stories, and have two strangers pick one of it and they have to act out the story in a pose. (ex: One slip would say "You just found out your boyfriend cheated on you" and the strangers would have to act it out.

4.) Finally, tell me what you thought of the photography, did the photographer think about the rules of photography that you know about? What types of photos did he take?

• All of the photo are in good focus but he did not follow any of the rules, except a couple that had simple background.

Cool Advertising Idea

The advertisting idea of painting the hands into a Eiffel Tower is my favorite because it looks just like the tower. It is really an amazing artwork. It wouldn't make me buy the phone though, but i still like it:)
