Sports/Action more details

1. Name of photographer -Alyssa Schukar
General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.)-

List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio -
All the pictures were of a certain distance and not gettin up close in personal and not feeling the love or the pain in these pictures. They are all kind of alike and similar.

List two things the judges like-
They like the background in a certain picture.
The other picture when the girl fell down the herdels.
What is your overall impression? What did you like or not like?
I didin't like that most of the first pictures were kind of alike and similar they needed to get more into detail.


2. Watch the winning portfolio critique (Dustin Snipes), and post the following:
What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
That the photographer was very creative while taking these pictures. He was actually thinking while he shot the photos.

What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?
A strength is the way he takes the pictures like the viewpoint and how he catched up with the runners to take that picture. I like his creativity and the way he makes people kind of pose in the photo.

3. They would look at all the pictures and say what they thought about it and what were the good things and bad things. They discussed if it was a good picture and if it had apoint to it and things like that and see which one was the best one.

Warm Up

I feel like they are actually trying to help the people of Japan from what just happend. This photo has the rule of thirds in it because the main subject (the man) is in the bottom right corner.
I feel bad to see this and realize what the people of Japan are going through. This picture has Depth because you can actually feel like your in the picture.

This picture is a little bit less badder than the others. This picture has the rule of lines with the streets and the fence in the side of it.

Touching people

1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?
I think it really cool, its like all people being one. People from different races coming together.
 
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 probably do it but feel very akward about it. It would be a cool picture with a stranger.

3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.
Go out and taking pictures of people having fun without them noticing me taking the picture so you can see what they really are doing.

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?
I think the photographer was thinking about the roles of photographing while takin the pictures he used many of them. All his pictures used them and were full of color, they were very intresting to look at.
