Portrait Review for William by Lauren

William's project is based on activities that normal people do on a day to day basis. However, he has people dressed up as Kings and Queens doing the normal people activities. For his project, one suggestion I have is for the picture where he has the girl drinking a Starbucks, I think it would be cooler if he took this picture actually in Starbucks or in the drive through. Overall, I think that these images are very well done. :)

peer review for Ella Ogletree portrait

               I like the photo of the girl holding the 2 solo cups. The gel creates a scene that may look like she is at a party and is being pressured/is pressuring someone else to drink something they shouldn't. The idea of being pressured to wear certain things in the 2nd photo is good, however i feel as if it could be more organized by moving the hands further away from grace's body to show her resistance to the pressures being put on her. I love the third photo and the concept that it portrays. The lack of saturation and monochromatic color creates an image that serves a purpose.

Chey Ann Portraits Review

                   What i like about Chey Ann's portraits is that they are very consistent. They all have constant lighting and fix well in the frame. There are a few of the photos that could be expanded to see the elbows and fix the model more into the center of the frame, like the smoke photo could be centered more and the covering the ears photo could be expanded to see more of the elbows.

                 I also think that Chey Ann could brighten the center of the photo and darken the edges to almost put a very obvious spotlight, even though there is one already. There is also the acceptance photo which could be in a different background such as maybe a sunset or some sort of environment.  I would like to add that in the depression stage she could try and make her cry for even more emphasis. Other then those things i think these photos are amazing.

Portrait Review for Lee Tritt

 For the photo project Lee Tritt portrayed a theme of anger. He does this by adding a red film to all of his photos. This red gives a sense of anger. In all of the photos Lee has his model become angry. To scrunch the face and frown. The framing is good on all the photos but I think he could work on shots that weren't so close up. To make the viewer find the anger inside of the model instead of just showing them the anger. Two of the three shots are very similar, I suggest making a variety of shots. Try to portray anger in a different way instead of just the face. 

improvements for Christian

He should work on making sure the photo does not have any unnecessary things in it like in the one of the kid in the bushes to make sure the house is not in it. Second, the one of the kid on the cooler next to the pool, you should make sure his foot is not cropped out. Otherwise I like the rest of them.

portrait review for lizzy by maddie

I loved your idea of athletic vs. classy. It was reflected really well in your photos. The diptych of Brooke could have more variation between the 2 photos. She could be doing a different pose or facial expression. Your out of studio photos could have more ties to your theme. Some of them seemed like they were out of place. I really liked the composition in your photos. They were all clear and edited well, and you didn't cut off any limbs. :)

portrait improvments for wynn

I loved the theme of Wynn’s pictures. And most of them had a good composition and were well shot. What she should change is in the picture with Parklyn have her show a little more emotion to go with the picture. Out of studio I would just make sure they are in focus. I like the idea she was going for with what she had her models doing. I would just retake the out of studios and make them more In focus
