Carter's Mountain Critique

In my Carter's mountian role I photographed little kids in a wheel barrow and a hot cider container. The phtos don't have vey strong center of interests. Prinitng wise I would give myself a 6 1/2. To make the picture of the kids better I would've burned in longer to make them stand out in the photo. 

Positive Polaroid Lift Off

 Positive Polaroid lift offs work best when a photograph has good lighting and a subject that isn't too dark. If I was taking a photograph to be used for a polariod liftoff I would make sure it had colors that would transfer well. I would also make sure I read my light meter accurately so the image doesnt develop dark. I would use simple subjects such as landscapes with a subject. I like my polaroid transfers because the subects are simple, a flower and trinket. The colors in the photo and the lighting turned out really well.

Portrait Photographers

Steve McCurry

I like this photo because of the intense detail and emotion. I like how the miners eyes have alot of power. I also like that the photographer captured the smoke in the photo.

Cecil Beaton

I like this photo because of the photographic elements used. Leading lines and the rule of thirds are utilized in this picture. I also like how the color of the model's dress was strategically picked.

Annie Leibowitz

I really like this photo because of the motion captured in the teacups and the emotion captured in the subjects eyes. I also like how the photographer used layering to add an extra aspect to the photo. The fact that the models are well known faces also adds an extra flare.

Norman Parkinson

This photo adds an old time fashion appeal. I like it because of the background and the use of framing. The cars in the back were captured around the model without intersecting her. The tree in the foreground also frames the model.

Richard Avedon

I love this photo because of all of the motion captured. The photo is very simple yet it has plenty of appeal because of the dress' movement and the side lighting.
