Prompt Shoot Peer Review
ABSENT THE CLASS WE DID THIS ASSIGNMENT
Hannah's Blog: 5th Period
1. Out of Hannah's Footprints, Pose, Pause, and The End prompt shoot, I liked her "Pose" picture the best, it's very happy and energized, it contains balance, rule of thirds, and it avoids mergers.
2. My lest favorite photo would have to be the "Footprints" photo, it felt very mainstream, she could've been more creative with it. However, there is some great balance in it.
3. I really liked the way her Pause photo turned out, it reveals a lot about the subject by the way he sits and acts, it's natural. I loved the "The End' photo, it was very bold and I really liked the touch of black and white.
4. One area she can approve upon, is creativity, her photography has a lot of potential and if she branches out some, her photos can be truly amazing.
5. The prompt I think she portrayed the best was The End because it was taken so boldly, it was a real statement photo.
6. The prompt I think she least successfully portrayed was footprints.
