Hi Dana, these series are really good! Love the 1st and 3rd image! Just increase the contrast a bit on the 3rd image to fully process it. 2nd image has a similar pose/face position. I'd replace it with a different image instead. I would also make the 4th image B&W just to get more info out of the cross. My least favorite photo here might be the 5th image. I think they might not be visually exciting as your other photos here. Other than, I think you're off to a great start here. Great job! And good luck! Take care!
Dana! I love images 2 and 4. The contrast in 4 is great and makes the image intriguing. The use of black and white in image 2 is perfect and adds to the drama of the photo. I think image 5 could benefit from being cropped or perhaps changed to something a bit more exciting-- maybe some other tools or supplies! I really enjoy the lighting in the last photo-- maybe you could flip some pages and utilize some different shutter speeds to make the image more stimulating! Good job :)
Hi Dana. I think the comments above are really great and give you something to think about. Since you are doing (4) self portraits I would encourage you to shake things up a bit! Use longer shutter speeds and step back a bit and show us more space. Let the space tell us something about and try not to focus on what you look like. Even though that is important, it can be a smaller percentage of what's important in the image. I really enjoy the light in the last image, and if you could bring that sense of light into some of the other works, I think it would help out. Don't be afraid to be more abstract and less telling. Let the viewer help to decide who this individual is. Good Luck! Andy
Hi Dana! I love your first image, the light reflection and contrast is so beautiful. I also really enjoy the third one, especially on the right side the reflection of glasses. I am not sure what does the fourth picture tell me about the person but it is a truly beautifully shot and edited! I think your last two are your weakest and I would replace the 5th one. Good Job!!
