Project 4-The Trace: Post-Critique
I was happy with the way my photographs were viewed. The feedback I received was good for the most part, but there are definitely some things that I would change if I had the opportunity to go back and re-shoot. Although all of my photos shared a common theme, distortion of reality, there wasn’t much else involved to connect them as a series. So, as a group they did fit together, but since the subject matter and color palette of each photo was so drastically different from the next there was not a strong connection between them. The way I used reflections and shadows to convert the mundane into something unique was appreciated, and the framing and camera angles I used were complimented. I was most happy with my picture of tree branches reflected onto water. The angle at which I took the photo and the cropping I did afterwards distorted the picture in a way that made the simple reflection of the tree branches almost unrecognizable. The actual branches and their trace did not match up, and the water was still enough that the reflection almost seemed like the actual thing.
