Portrait Improvements for Nathaniel

   For my improvement post, I am talking about President Nathaniel's project and how he can fix and improve his photos. For my first critic, I would lower the light on Sahib a bit lower so that the background color looks even. I would also use a spotlight to go straight on so that the chair is the same color and so there is symmetry. My last critic is that Sahib changed his facial expression and to lean his chin us so there isn't a double chin which he complained about. But besides that I really like the photo. For the second photo in his project I would plus out the little white part on Clayton's phone. Besides that I truly love the emphasis on the aired and the facial expression. This picture is one of my favorites from this project. For the third photo I would only change too things. I would change what is on the screen of the computer to something that all students really hate. The other critic I would do it change the way he is sticking up his middle finger so that it is more of the focus of the photo. But everything else I love and love the message of the photo. For the fifth photo I would just fix the way Sahib's leg is up because it is an awkward position to be in but I love the access granted on the screen. Overall for the in studio photos are really good and show your theme really well.
   For the outside studio photos, there are a few changes i would do to make the photos even better.  For the first out of studio photo with his little brother playing a video game. To tweet this photo I would shoot at a lower angle so that the arm is not cut off so awkwardly or have him sit up a bit to even out the line of the couch and the line of the door so that they are one continuous line. For the second photo I would not reshoot it and just keep it as it is. I truly love this photo and how he looks so involved in his work which really works with your theme. Good Job! For the last photo I would shoot farther away and not cut off part of his head and arm and maybe shoot lower so that we can see his facial expression. Or I would put something on the screen that attracts the viewers and be the counterpoint of the photo.  I love this project and I see so much potential with it. Keep up the good work.
