Academics Photography

simplicity or rule of thirds?

balance
si,



Finding interesting pictures was very hard. Being able to follow the composition rules was even harder. Although this was  a great experience, it was very frustrating. Kids acted like they were in Elementary School when they saw the camera. Overall, I think academic photographers have tons of patience and i have a new found respect for them.

Academics Shoot Preview

The Story

This is a story of high school students. They are graduating, saying goodbye, and moving into adulthood.
Action
There are two students working in a lab and there is fire and smoke and they are heating something.


Filling the Frame
This frame is filled with students who are happy and gathered around doing a science experiment

I choose this picture because it seems to have an amazing story behind it.
Rule of third because no subject is directly in the center.

I followed the rule not so well
Evelin is the subject
No, she's too far away
I should be closer to my subject

terrible merging
i followed the rule very well
Evelin is the subject
Yes, Evelin with a pole coming out of her head
Nothing


rule of thirds.
I followed the rule very well
Evelin is the subject and her being off to the side catches your eye
I believe it is clear as to what the subject is (Evelin)
N/a

framing
I think I could've done better with this 
The subject is the blonde haired boy in all black and glasses
Yes
I could've made the frame better and had it focus more on the subject




                                                                       simplicity
                                     This is my favorite photo. This is the best one
The subject is a kid in glasses and a black jacket and blonde hair
yes
i did a good job




balance
i did a good job
The subject is the records
Yes
I could've gotten rid of the random green thing in the corner








Overall i think this was a great experience! I think some challenges would be getting the picture just right and it sucked when it came out blurry. I focused on the focus of the camera the most.

Who is The Man?

He's wearing a camouflage jacket as if he's cold.
His hair is very messy and it looks like it hasn't been brushed
His teeth are crooked and he has wrinkles.
He's in the city on a street by a Lowe's



Ted Williams
Ted Williams sounds like a reporter or a narrater of a movie. Very smooth and deep and precise. 
He was on a median on the side of the street when the reporter found him.
This is a redemption story about a man with his drug and alcohol abuse but, he has hope that he'll find a job and have a 2nd chance at life.
1. He's been 2 years sober ad says he's going to get his life back.
2. $10,000 offer for voice- over work
3.The field trip that changed his life
