This week we were working on our second draft of our series project. From my first draft, I saw that the positioning of the bodies and the negative spacing were not matching with the orignal Afghan Girl by Steve McCurry. The first photo was the same photo in the first draft, but I edited it more by cropping the photo and adding more contrast. My main goal was to have a model pose the exact same way as the Afghan Girl with an interesting background. In my first draft, most of the models were standing and the pose did not aline with Steve McCurry's photo. This time I told the model to sit/squat down on the floor and hunch their back a little. I took the photo vertically, so I was able to get enough negative spacing. Again I used a lot of contrast to get more colors and blurred the background a bit.
These are all amazing portraits Caleigh! I like how all of your models in your portraits are facing one side. I also like all of your different backgrounds. Nice job! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI really love your portraits! I especially like the first one and the last one. Good job!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos Caleigh! Your set has improved a lot since the last one. The way you made your models sit/squat really perfected the positioning to match the Afghan Girl photo. I really like the gray wall background, it's really interesting and helps bring out the model. I think the photos where the model is taking up more space in the frame and there's less background (like the 2nd and 3rd ones) match really well with the original Afghan Girl photo. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see your next set!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Caleigh! I think this set is a lot stronger than your last set. You chose backgrounds that were not too distracting, so the attention wasn't drawn away form the model's face and intensity. Great work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos, Caleigh! I think you really improved from last week, I can see that you are using more contrast with your photos, and that really makes the model pop! Good work!
ReplyDeletegreat job caleigh! you definitely achieved all your goals. The negative spacing works really well in your series. nice work on the editing!
ReplyDeleteNice work! I really like this set of photos and can see an improvement from last week. I think your choice of backgrounds really aided the photos and the contrast of the models. The positioning looks really good and matches well with the photo of the Afghan girl. The cropping and added contrast really helps pull your eye in. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI like your pictures. But more vibrant colours would be great. Good Work!
