Academic Shoot reflection and critique

 1).The challenge that I had for the rules were that I had trouble in the culinary class trying to get the chef making something because all the students circled him watching him and it was hard trying to find a opening.


2)  The technical aspects I had for this assignment was different angles but mostly I took random photos that stood out to me and was not thinking about the rules we had to follow, only how many photos can I take.

3. If I had the chance to do it again, I would take many of the same photos, but move my body to get more angles of the same shot.  I felt uncomfortable asking the students who were surrounding the chef to move so I could get a few more shots of him working.  Since it's their class to learn in, it felt rude or awkward so I didn't.

4. I liked my lemon shots and the tomato rose/lemon plate shot plus one of his cutting board with lots of different foods and different cutting methods.

5.  Lines will be the easiest to achieve because I already like/look for those.  Rules of Thirds because I am thinking about it now  and I wasn't before.  Also now know to look to avoid mergers.

6. I think balance is still the hardest to achieve because of distractions in the background.

7.  I still have a problem with framing and identifying or seeing opportunities to create frames.

1. Balance - I liked seeing through the kids who are lined up with their backpacks.
2. I liked the simplicity of her Rule of Thirds photo with the girl writing on her paper.  The green background and highlights in her hair added to the photo.
3.  For simplicity, it was distracting how the frame on the flag was cut off so I saw it a bit as Avoiding Merger.
