Transcript of Photography evaluation
Photography strength & weaknesses
I took pictures of various flowers for a gardening leaflet, and the four best pictures were already the most colourful of the photos. The first photo had great composition, as the flowers in the background arched away from the focus
flower and the colour were complimented greatly by the green. When I edited it I made the colours stand out more and it looked really good, but the building in the background ruins the photo by being very out of place in the image and the lens flare ruins the photo because it doesn’t fit into the image and looks like it was forced in.
The second photo at first was pretty bad, as the main subject was in the centre of the photo and there was a lot of negative space. But I cropped it so that the flower is in the rule of thirds, and changed the curves to make the flowers stand out much more than the green and the detail in the flower is easily. But, the green seems too dark, and the grass looks weirdly red and the shadows look to out of place for the image.
The third photo had great lighting and it cast really good shadows, and the flowers looked great with the light shining on them. I messed around with the exposure and made the light shadows work even better, but the light bleached the plants and it looked really uncanny, but the bee on the flower looks really good on the flower, redeeming parts if the photo. The shadows and the light on the leaves looked much better then the flowers.
The fourth photo had varied colours and the flowers worked well with each other, when I edited the photo, I made the green brighter to make the overall photo much more colourful. But the image looks blurred on the flowers and the yellow flowers seem unnaturally bright and seem a bit out of place.
Professional comparison
When my photos are compared to the photo below, you can see that there is no real focus in any of the photos, showing almost no detail, and that they look artificial with how bright they are. The image uses the right adjustments to make the colour work really well and contrasting colours work really well with each other, the contrasting colours in some of my photos works better then other photos.
Fitness for purpose
My photos would work well in a small gardening leaflet for a local gardening centre or any small local events, but it wouldn’t work for well known gardening magazines or high tier gardening websites as most of the images look too artificial, too saturated, could be hard to look at and that the cropping doesn’t look like it would work in any big magazines as it’s focus on the main subject and might be a bit confusing to look at because it not focused on anything in particular, it might be boring look at because of the negative space. But it would work for a local leaflet, as people would think colourful and stands out and would make people more likely to visit the store.
