Food angles
face close-ups and depth of field
More Practice with depth of field, featuring easter bunny.
Ideas on perspective.
Quality of light and idea of waking up on operating table, can change focus to get different focus mimicking human vision.
hehe.
Not a fan of the text, but working with slogans and products again. Another slogan was "Nothing like Jamba to get those Juices flowing."

Fascinated by this photo
There was a strong energy coming from this photo so I had to include it. Working with lighting, almost feels like a UFO on a cornfield... except there is no corn.
Do I have an idea yet? Check in on Friday.
There are some great things happening in img 5 and 10, they both have everyday subject matter captured in a way that resembles something else. The chairs look like some sort of cityscape, and the knee through the jeans looks like a coconut at first glance lol. I like this idea of disassociating the viewer with different perspectives, and I think you should explore this more.
ReplyDeleteInteresting subject choices this week. The strongest image is the 10th, the ambiguity of the subject really works. Your use of shallow depth of fields is very strong and works for some images, however in image 3, an even deeper depth of field would have really captured the depth of the cityscape. Your humorous eye has always been a strength in your photos, I wish to see more of your cleverness in your photos rather than shooting mundane objects. Think now about developing a signature style.
ReplyDeleteGood job.
Your humor always captures my attention. I enjoy how you included intriguing subjects this week ,and how you changed it up. I think you should explore more angles. I think it was really interesting how you got texture of those dry knees too.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of waking up on an operating table and see those lights is terrifying. There's a great contrast between the bright hospital lights and dark back-round. I like how you shoot everyday objects from a different perspective.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of implementing everything we've learned into this shoot. Photos 6 and 10 are the most intriguing to me, possibly due to the fact that the subject matter is not easily recognizable at first. I really enjoy how you challenge common imagery in these photos. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of different angles in your photos this week. I think your depth of field is very strong and I really like the 5th photo.
ReplyDeleteYour tenth image was the strongest for me. Not only did it show great texture, but it also abstracted the subject. I almost screamed when I saw it due to its intensity. I wasn't expecting it so when I scrolled to the image, it kind of looked like a human scalp balding which freaked me out. It wasn't until I read the comments that I realized this was a knee and some ripped jeans. I think you should definitely keep exploring with various perspectives. And great job with editing the contrast in the 10th photo.
ReplyDeletethe last picture is the most successful because of the very detailed texture! The depth of field in the second picture works well, but I think that it would work well as isolation of the subject if you had framed out the part on the right. While the pictures are well done, the subjects were a bit boring.
ReplyDeleteTHAT KNEE pic!! that is your strongest photo because the texture is so powerful I thought it was a basketball. I also think your quality of light pic is a nice presentation of symmetry and even isolating the subject.
ReplyDeleteaaaaaAAH yo that perspective is fukn disgusting i wish i never saw that but also i want to keep on looking at it because it is so well shot, the depth of field is a1. all of these photos are very well shot with a strong emphasis on depth of field throughout, i also appreciate the sarcastic homage to vis lit technical difficulties 101. i always look forward to your commentary but frankly i think that is something your photos rely on heavily. i think you should try integrating these comments into your photos conceptually by means of a visual narrative in that the photos can act independently from your captions if by chance need be.
ReplyDeleteJust like antonio said, your commentary is your strongest component and NEEEEEDS to be incorporated more into your photos visually. Make us cackle, make us cry, make us ROFLCOPTER over to XD Land. While I know you were using this week as a sort of practice with the technical skills we learned, I wish that there would have been a theme to make the overall portfolio more interesting in content, even if it was just a collection of different chair wheels and their silly lil hairs.
ReplyDeleteThe texture in your 10th image is so evident, the way the skin peaks through the ripped jeans makes for a really interesting photo that you have to spend time looking at, idk but the skin looks reaaaalllly cool
