Today i was required to produce series of images of random people's close ups and medium shots. Hence i made a decision to walk around on campus to search for models. These are some photographs, which i can call successful for several reasons.
What i like about given shot is that the girl is in the process. Because she is smoking and smiling it creates natural atmosphere and makes viewers believe that she is not acting for camera. However, she is alone and not looking directly. So there is a sense, which suggests her discomfort and unwillingness to work with photographer. What i need to practice more is how to communicate with models closely to make them relax.
As regards this photo, i enjoy chosen composition. The rules of thirds is fulfilled here. However, despite the fact she chatted with man, i didn't include him in frame therefore again there is just one person who preferred not to look directly in camera. This is not right decision as spectators can avoid reading the narrative, as they can feel model's constraint.
This image below is distinguished by movements and energy. Although girls avoid eye contact as well, photograph works quite well here because they are relaxed and happy. They are interacting with each other and enjoy this short moment of their life. The one things that can be improved is ratio between depth of field and shutter speed as sitters are a little blurred and there is selective focus on background.
