Academic Shoot Preview

(Part 1)

The Story


The way everyone is standing in a circle and how the sunlight shines through the trees gives the picture a more united feeling. The circle of people made around the pole shows that its some sort of tradition to do what they're doing or maybe something significant happened with the pole involved.


Action and Emotion

This picture shows how all the athletes feel. This photo also catches a glimpse of their personalities (ex: the person in orange is very excited and jumping around while the one in black is happy, but composes his excitement).




Filling the Frame


This picture has multiple aspects which make it more interesting to look at. The horse and rider are both focused in on the steer, while the crowd is watching the pair gallop after it. Dust is flying and the rope is in the air, this photo defiantly captures the moment.






(Part 2)
Picture Description: A student is solving a problem on a clear board that the camera is taking the picture from the other side.


1. The picture of the student solving the problem on the clear board is my favorite picture because the prospective of the picture is different and interesting to look at. The student looks naturally focused on the board even though he knows there is a picture being taken of him.

2. The background is simple and the attention is obviously focused on the person writing. The picture is also using the rule of thirds by placing the person's face towards the right while his hand is more towards the top center.





(Part 3)


1. I think I could take an interesting picture in Science or and History class.

2. I want to take my photos in my PREAP Biology class.

3. I will try to alternate and experiment with angles and I may try the rule of thirds in a few of my photos. I will also be mindful of the backgrounds and proximity of where I'll be taking the photo from.
