Assignment #2 Post Critique Response

After receiving feedback from fellow students I learned more about what I could do better next time and what I could change in my photos. In photo #1 other students felt there was a very dark mood to the photo. They felt that the pose of the subject was good and so was the lighting. I think it would be good to spend some time in the photo being creative with the color that I allow to show in the photo. There could be a good series with this photo based around shapes and backlit subjects. In photo #2 there was a very casual mood things fit together well and there was a balanced composition. However there was a bit of the photo that needed to be cropped to make the photo more seamless. There could be room for extension if I were to take photos of people being casual in their living rooms. The last photo #3, I really liked. I think because it was so simple. But the photo was very intimate and seemed very natural. This photo I think would have the easiest transition into a series of intimate, dead on, close up, portraits.
