1. a. Josh Birnbaum
b. Stories
c. Didn't like certain angles, clique photos, and that there were no good "moment" photos.
d. People in on the action, details on close up photos.
e. The photographer really put themselves out there. It seemed like a lot of the photo's weren't planned and seemed a bit natural. I didn't like how the photographer had a really good unplanned photo and then the next photo was a very clearly planned photo.
2. a. Jordan Murph
b. Sports
c. Artificially posed photos, photos that didn't tell a story, mergers.
d. Composition, informative photos.
e. The photographer's sport photos are very well done and thought out, they clearly knew what they were doing. I didn't like how their picture stories didn't a base to it and were thrown together.
3. a. Sam Adams
b. Stories
c. Images where the subjects aren't doing anything, mergers, angles that didn't help the image.
d. Want to wonder what happens next, mood.
e. What is your overall impression of the photographer? You could tell from their picture story that some of their interest include biking but isn't as clear for the other photos. I didn't like how it seemed like some photos weren't thought out nor executed properly. I liked how in one of their photos, there was a firefighter that looks like Matt Damon.
4. Winning portfolio: Dustin Snipes
a. Some strengths that the judges really noted was that it's good to have all the subjects in your photo to be doing something.
b. Some strengths that I saw was the different angles. Some weaknesses I saw was in one photo that had a strange composition because it didn't seem properly balanced.
5. Contest recap video:
a. The judges were able to decide their winner by comparing them to their other portfolios and they also looked for photos that were simple but full with good subjects and composition.
Part 2
A.) 1. I really liked the photo of the boxer getting hit and the judges said that the image is real tight and powerful which I agree.
2. There was an image where some women runners have begun to trip and fall into one another and the judges said they would have liked to see the aftermath of the trip for some better reaction. I disagree with this because I thought that mid-falling action that was caught was really good and interesting.
B.) 1. In part 3 (No pro/No Collage), there's a tennis photo where a girl in red has her arms to the air, her racket tossed, in celebration. I agree with the judges when they said that the image really held emotion because from the body language, can you tell how excited and thrilled the girl is from possibly winning a point.
2. There was a very good photo where two players are about to fight, both standing on matts opposite each other. The judges said that it would have been better had the subjects been off center but I disagree with them and thought that it was a good idea to have it centered for balance.
C.) 1. I really liked the portrait photo of the cheerleaders posing because it's interesting and fun and makes no sense. But the image it's self also has really good quality and good lighting.
2. I disagree with the judges when it came to the image of a little girl with boxing gloves trying to take on a punching bag. The judges immediately didn't like but I thought it was interesting. The image also has some good repetition.
D.) 1. I agree with the judges when it came to the story about curling because it's true that curling isn't exactly the most interesting but the photographer was able to make it interesting.
2. The very first photo that went with the winning story wasn't exactly tight or good composition like the rest of the photos in the story was.
F.) 1. I agree with the judges when they took out the black and white photo of someone swinging something. It's hard to tell what's going on because the object is blurry and is covering the person's face.
2. The judges also let go of an image where there's a sunset in the background of a baseball game and there's also a father tossing his daughter up in the air. I disagree with the judges about this because it was a great moment that was captured with the people and the background even helps set a basis for why the moment happened.
E.) 1. I agree with the judges when it came to the goose photo because the moment was perfectly captured and was tight and interesting.
2. I disagree with the judges when they said that the black and white escalator photo had good emotion but you can only really see the face of one person and yet it's hard to tell exactly what the women is thinking.
