There are three basic questions to ask when critiquing a photo: what is good, what is not good, and how it could be better. Four factors determine a photo's quality: value, clarity, composition, and presentation. Value refers to the range of light and contrast in the photo. Clarity depends on proper focus - whether the subject and edges are sharply or softly focused.

Critiquing a photo involves evaluating several key elements:
1) Value - The range of light and contrast between dark and light elements
2) Clarity - Correct focus and delineation of the center of interest
3) Composition - Placement of the point of interest within the frame and use of lines
4) Presentation - Scratches, cropping, and overall final presentation
When critiquing, ask what is good/not good about the photo and how it could be improved. Consider multiple photos to compare techniques. Separate likes from dislikes to judge photos equally.How To Critique a Photo

This document provides guidance on how to critique photographs. It outlines that the goal of critiquing is to help photographers improve, not criticize. When critiquing, one should note both strengths and weaknesses, and suggest how the photo could be better. Key areas to examine include value, clarity, composition, and presentation. Value refers to contrast levels, clarity means what is in focus, composition involves elements like point of interest and lines, and presentation means how clean the print appears. Sample photos are included to demonstrate these concepts.photo 1 critiquing

Critiquing a photograph involves analyzing what is good, bad, and could be improved. When critiquing, one should look at color contrast in black and white photos and overall photo quality, avoiding personal opinions. Quality issues include blurriness, lack of focus, and poor color balance. Good photos exhibit hues, contrasting blacks and whites, and are sharp without blurriness.How to critique power p oint

This document provides guidance on how to properly critique photographs. It explains that a critique should evaluate both positive and negative aspects, not just focus on flaws. When critiquing, one should ask what is good about the photo, what could be improved, and how. The four basic standards to examine are value (lighting and contrast), clarity, composition (visual elements), and presentation quality. Following these steps and considering technical and aesthetic factors can help one provide a well-rounded critique that is constructive, not just critical.Photo Critiquing Erin McHugh

The photographer conducted a shoot to capture images for a magazine cover featuring Jack Rogers as the subject. The best image was selected as it looked professional with an interesting above angle. Some lighting and position adjustments were made from the original plan. This selected image was later edited in black and white with only the red cap re-colored to make it stand out against the bold contrast. Further edits were avoided to prevent an overly complex final image. A few other photos were rejected for issues like overly bright flash or inappropriate poses for a music magazine cover.Experiments evidence template

This document summarizes Ryan Goldsmith's experimental photography project. It explores techniques like using out-of-focus imagery, capturing movement through long exposures, using reflections, and creating photomontages. For out-of-focus photos, the camera was manually focused to blur the images. Capturing movement involved long shutter speeds of 2-3.5 seconds to either freeze or blur moving subjects. Reflection photos utilized reflective surfaces like phone screens. Photomontages were made by taking overlapping photos and merging them in Photoshop. The document analyzes the effects achieved and evaluates which techniques and photos were most successful.Evaluation

The document discusses the author's process for selecting a macro photography theme for their exhibition project. They chose macro because they enjoyed macro photos the most during a previous assignment. They were inspired by photographer Heather Angel's sharp, detailed close-up images. For their photos, the author used a Canon 1100D on macro setting to capture close-ups. They edited all photos in Photoshop to make the main subject stand out with color against a black and white background for contrast and focus. The author believes their flower, eye, and leaf photos turned out well but struggled with bark and grass images that were hard to edit distinctly. Overall they are pleased with the edited images but would plan more interesting subjects and vary techniques for future projects.Evaluation

The document summarizes Paul Hurst's photography style and techniques. It analyzes six of his portrait photos that depict individuals looking alone. The photos were taken in a studio with dark, dull lighting to create a sense of loneliness. The compositions are straightforward with the subjects centered facing the camera head-on. Depth of field and ISO were the primary techniques used to focus on the models' faces. While the consistent theme of isolation is a strength, the images would benefit from brighter editing to be more appealing.Cropping an Image

Cropping is the process of framing a photograph by including some visual elements while removing others. The document discusses that a good first step in cropping is to decide what parts of the photo are essential to the overall image and what parts do not add value. It also notes that in the author's class, students practiced cropping printed photos by using L-shaped cards to frame different areas of an image to determine the best composition.Basic Portrait Photography Class

This document provides tips for portrait photography focusing on lighting, composition, and camera settings. The key points are:
1) Natural lighting is best and an expensive camera is not necessary for great shots. Understanding light and positioning subjects towards the light source is important.
2) Composition techniques like rule of thirds and leading lines can make photos more interesting. Avoid centering subjects and be aware of backgrounds.
3) Both indoor and outdoor lighting can produce good portraits if subjects are near windows or in open shade. Backlighting and overcast days are also options.Photo manny2

Major forms of photography include single photos, picture groups, sequences, series, and photo essays. Photo essays allow photographers to explore stories in more depth than single photos by depicting concepts or themes over longer periods of time with multiple related photos and a personal viewpoint. Effective picture stories include 4+ photos accompanied by text to tell about a subject, with all photos relating to each other and the broader story. Photographers are advised to thoroughly research and document subjects to effectively capture and sequence photos that clearly and cohesively tell the story.Original images

The second image is also rejected because the subject's head is too low and her arms would again be cut off. The third and chosen image is said to fit well on the poster with none of the arms cut off and allowing the audience to see more of the subject's face while maintaining mystery.Composition & Portraiture

This document provides tips for taking better portrait photographs. It discusses using a large aperture to blur the background and focusing on the subject. While most portraits are taken at eye level, changing the angle can provide a creative perspective. Playing with eye contact, such as having the subject look off-camera or at something in the frame, can make portraits more candid and interesting. The document also covers lighting portraits using soft, diffused front lighting and experimenting with lighting directions and multiple light sources. It describes lighting patterns such as split lighting, loop lighting, Rembrandt lighting, and butterfly lighting.Portrait Photography

This document provides tips for portrait photography. It recommends getting close to subjects to fill the frame, using settings and lighting to add emotion, and isolating subjects from backgrounds. Props can provide context but shouldn't be the main focus. Lighting is important - shoot towards the light and use early morning or late afternoon light. Silhouettes involve metering for the light and having subjects block it. Different angles can change moods. Candid photos of subjects in their natural environments can be most authentic.

Sample critiques are then provided that apply these standards to evaluate contrast, focus, framing, and other elements.Critiquing research 2

This document outlines how to critique photographs by looking at four key factors: value, clarity, composition, and presentation. It emphasizes that critique involves a group carefully examining photographs to identify what is good, not good, and how it could be improved. The goal is to train one's eye to provide constructive feedback on one's own and others' photographs based on standards of quality rather than personal opinions.Critique powerpoint photo
- 1. How To Critique A Photo By Eric Kardaras
- 2. Critiquing is not the same as criticizing, which only involves pointing out flaws. In a true critique, positive and negative comments are balanced.
- 3. There is 3 basic questions to ask yourself about each photograph you critique: What is good about it? What is not good? How could it be better?
- 4. Four basic factors to determine a photograph’s standards: value, clarity, composition, and presentation.
- 5. Value ï‚— -Value: Value, in a photograph, concerns light, not price. Specifically, it refers to the range of light in the photo: from black through shades of gray to white. As a general rule, the more contrast a photograph has - or the wider the range between its darkest and lightest elements-the greater its visual impact will be.
- 6. Value (continued) ï‚— A photograph of normal value contains black blacks, white whites and a variety of grays. There are many possible causes for poor value. The most common is incorrect exposure when taking the photograph. How the film is processed will also affect its values. Additionally, the kind of paper used to make the print has considerable effect on its contrast.
- 7. Clarity ï‚— Clarity: The primary key to clarity is focus-not just whether or not the photograph is in focus, but whether it is correctly focused. In a correctly focused photograph, a subject may be either sharp or soft. With sharp focus, all edges are very clearly defined. With soft focus, the edges blur a bit.
- 8. Clarity (continued) ï‚— When something is out of focus, the edges blur more than they should. If the shutter speed is too slow, the subject will be blurred-either because it moved or because the photographer did. Occasionally- very occasionally- a poorly focused photograph can work just fine even better than if it were focused correctly.
