Poses

Standing Tall

 Location: Front Office
Problems: Reflection in the glass, finding a location with good lighting
Some of the other shots I took were blurry or cut off the top of the person's head.
I think the location could've been improved. It's just a person standing against a plain wall.

Location: Library
Problems: Finding a location with good lighting, getting the full person in the shot
Some of the other shots were zoomed in too far and only showed the upper half of the person when it was supposed to show the whole body, so this picture is the best.
I think I could've zoomed in a little farther.


Seated

 Location: Deer Court, vending machines
Problems: The lighting was a little weird for a lot of loactions I tried shooting in.
For my other pictures, the shots looked either too dark, or the pose didn't seem right to me, so this one was the best.
I could've taken the picture somewhere with an even amount of light.

Location: Deer court, vending machines
Problems: It was hard getting a good angle for the picture.
My other pictures were taken at weird angles and seemed a little too dark, so this one was the best picture.
I could have taken the picture in a place with more light.


Lean

 Location: Trees by the Deer Court
Problems: The lighting was all over the place
This picture was the best because the others were either too bright, too dark, or had part of the body cut off.
Even though this picture had the best lighting, it could still be improved.

Location: Trees by the Deer Court
Problems: Overexposed, underexposed
This picture was the best because on the other pictures, I took them at an angle where it didn't look like the person was leaning against the tree, just standing in front of it.
The lighting could be improved a lot; the sky is way too overexposed.


Environmental

 Location: Trees in front of the office
Problems: The sky was too overexposed and sometimes the trees caused the phone to blend in
This picture was best out of all the pictures I took because you could clearly see the phone and in the other pictures, the phone blended in or I took the picture too early or late.
The lighting in the sky could be improved; it needs to be darkened.

Location: Entrance to the 200 building
Problems: Sometimes the door would blend in with the phone and the papers on the door also became a distraction.
This picture was the best because it wasn't blurry and you can see the phone; it doesn't blend in with the door as much as it did in my other pictures.
I could've found a better location so the phone wouldn't blend in and there wouldn't be a reflection in the glass.


Wildcard

 Location: Umbrellas
Problems: The colors in the background were a little distracting
This picture was the best wildcard I took of this person because it was the most unique out of all the pictures I took.
I could've taken the picture from farther away and zoomed in so the background was more blurred out and less distracting.

Location: Tree by the gym
Problems: The pictures I took were a little overexposed in some areas
This was the best wildcard picture because it was also the most unique picture I took for this set of pictures.
I could've taken the picture from an angle where the lighting would be a little darker.


The most challenging part of the assignment was getting the models to do the exact poses for each picture. Some of the pictures have varying poses for each category. To overcome this, I asked the models to change their poses a little so it would look more like the actual pose I needed.
Back in September, I wasn't good at keeping one subject in my pictures, it was more like a jumbled mess, but now I am better at taking pictures with one subject in them. I am also better at putting more focus on the subject so the images come out sharper.
Before the end of the year, I want to learn how to be more creative when I take pictures, such as putting interesting and unique subjects in the pictures which no one would think about putting in there.
