Concept: I wanted to show her personality, and how eager she is to be on the lookout for deer in our backyard.
Method: I told her there were deer and she got really excited and went to look while I took the picture.
Motivation: To make an image with the 'background' prompt showing my neighbors dog in a situation that shows her identity.
Context: Portraits of dogs are not so common, but I wanted to do one that really displayed her personality.
Post-crit analysis:
Interpretation: People didn't really get the excitement from it, but I thought the wagging tail would show it.
Evaluation: People thought the chair was a bit distracting, and that it would be better if I could have taken a photo that had her excited face in it.
Extension: I could take closer images that really showed her face not just her back.
Concept: To capture the true personalities of my family.
Method: I used a tripod and snapped the shot when they were not expecting it.
Motivation: To make a 'group' picture of my family and their relationships.
Context: My mom wanted a group picture before my sister moved back to Seattle. This was a test shot before I joined the picture and it caught them all off guard.
Post-crit analysis:
Interpretation: People could definitely see the different personalities and interactions of my family.
Evaluation: They wondered why I didn't crop it next to my brother too even it out- but I left that space for me.
Extension: To take more candid shots of my family unawares to display more of their quirks.
Concept: To display a person's character accurately in an image.
Method: I zoomed in on her and she got a little uncomfortable with it so she started laughing.
Motivation: To make an 'Intimate' image of someone I know- Liz was my Suite-mate for my first two years of college and we hung out all of the time. I know her very well.
Context: This photo really represents her character. She looks like this all the time, and I think it was successful in depicting her personality.
Post-crit analysis:
Interpretation: They thought it looked like a candid portrait or snapshot.
Evaluation: It has maybe too much grey in it, and the background could be less distracting.
Extension: Take more with different expressions to show different aspects of her character.
Concept: I wanted to take an image of all my students, and I really liked how this one turned out. It really reminds me of her character and what she's like.
Method: I just told her to smile and snapped the shot.
Motivation: Indoor lighting image of one of my students in Saturday Morning Art.
Context: I think children are really fun to photograph because they don't think about how they look as much as adults do. They just smile and wait. This girl's smile to me looks a bit 'I'm sweet and innocent but secretly super mischievous' which totally represents her personality.
Post-crit analysis:
Interpretation: They didn't see any deeper meaning behind it.
Evaluation: They would have liked the background gone.
Extension: They wondered why I cropped it the way I did and what it would be like if I framed more of her in the image.
