I took these photos with the concept of capturing natural facial expressions in mind. So much of fashion photography is staged. The model is "supposed" to look a certain way and pose for the camera but this set of photos show a somewhat relaxed and very authentic person. The photos are black and white because I wanted to mirror Richard Avedon's avant guard style of portrait photography.
overall, this is a strong batch. You did an excellent job in capturing all the different emotions Emily showed. But the first picture doesn't really mirror what Avedon was doing-(even though the shadows work well and are beautiful) Avedon didn't quite focus on adding other elements in, he wanted the focus to be all on the subject.
ReplyDeleteI really like all of these, really nice photos, but im pretty sure we were supposed to have them all on a plane background, but other than that they are good. All have rlly nice expressions. good work.
ReplyDeleteI like how im some of the photos you incorporated shadows, i dont know if you were trying to do that but it looks good.
ReplyDeleteI like the use of shadows in your photos but it does stray from Avedon's idea of simple background and no use of shadow. But great photos
ReplyDeleteIn general these are all good photos, however you could make them better by cropping the photos in a touch to focus more on the expressions of the person
ReplyDeleteI really like all of these photos. They all bring out inner emotion, and I think you did a great job of taking good photos of vulnerability. Nice job on all of these.
ReplyDeleteI think you did an amazing job capturing the different expressions and emotions from your subject. I think you could have done a better job taking the photo of your subject up close, with a plain background. The bricks add texture to the photo and may take a viewer’s eye off the subject. I like your ninth photo because I can really feel the pain coming the subject’s eyes. Overall, good job on your photos!
ReplyDeleteI really like the consistency within all of these photos. These are all very raw, and each one shows a great amount of personality, especially when she touches her hair or looks way. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteThe lighting in these photos is very nice. I like the way you framed each of them and showed different emotions.
