Guy in Kitchen:
My group interpreted this image basically as what it was, a guy making something in a kitchen. They thought it was interesting how there was a design in the background that drew their eyes around the picture instead of looking just at the guy. They thought that was the best thing that was working throughout the picture. What was not working was the fact that it was sort of blurry. The problem was I thought I printed the wrong picture which would explain that situation. What’s not working is the sliver of the fridge on the right side of the image. It is very distracting and should be cropped out. A jumping-off point from this image was thought about college guys in the morning. It looks like he’s making some sort of food which can be something not normal for guys to do. Another idea my group had was people doing mundane things. For example a person on their hands and knees searching for prey or something like that.
Football Guy:
Others interpreted this image as this guy being an Abercrombie model or an ad for Abercrombie, specifically the pictures on the sides of their shopping bags. What’s working in this photo is the way the picture is cropped. The guy is standing in the middle, but because the football is more to one side and he looks so intense, emotion is being given off. Some things that are not working are the colors. It definitely needs to be more contrasted; it’s a little too dull. It should have more highlights. A jumping-off point from this picture could be other model poses for guys, or casual sports. It looks as if this picture was just taken by a photographer who just caught the shot while he was playing catch or something. If I were able to take pictures of women or men just playing around we thought it would be a really nice group of photographs.
Girl In Woods:
Some first impressions of this picture was that this girl was Fergie. Her hair looks very similar and her nose I guess does too. Another thing they thought about was that it looks as I was spying on this girl. Because the leaves are blurred and I’m focused in on her, it gives this picture that affect. What works well in this photo are the tones of black to white. They liked how the black of her coat popped when they looked at the picture. Another thing that worked well was her facial expression. It’s not normal and it makes the viewer think about and question what it is she’s looking at. One thing they thought would make it better was is if it showed a little more detail in the background. A jumping-off point for this picture was thinking about a series of shots looking through things and focusing in on one person. It could be candid, actually catching people off-guard.
Guy Dancing:
The interpretation of this image was a dancing guy. Basically the picture explains it. What gave it away was the motion of the legs. They did think the motion worked well with the image. The fact that the viewer can’t see his face gives the image a mystery about and very expressive pose. A couple things that don’t work well in this image is that the ceiling is way too big and the person seems to be just plopped right in the center of the photo. If he were moved to the side a little bit or had the camera move down, the composition might be a little better. A jumping-off point for this image might be of silhouettes where you can’t see their faces with different backgrounds. The viewer would have to think about what the persons feeling were by looking at the background.
