Evaluation (self reflection in blog with examples from shoot)

This talented photographer, Ryan Aicard, has shown great photography skills. In this picture he shows dynamic angle at its finest. Instead of taking a basic eye level picture, he went  low and captured a shot of the woman. Adding the black and white made the picture have more suspense and wondering what the model was thinking. One flaw in this photo the hair movement. It does look like he used a slow shutter speed, but maybe that was what he was going for. Altogether this is a fine piece of art.

In this photo the model showed that she was serious and was there to take care of business. Ryan Aicard took advantage of the pipe and wall, and used it as leading lines. Another technique he used was rule of thirds. Placing the model to the left, instead of the middle. The picture would of been a bit dull if the model was placed in the middle. Some simple photography skills Ryan used, but used them together to make a masterpiece.  

Ryan shows one last time how some simple photography skills can impact a picture. He uses rule of thirds in this photograph, lining the model the the left and showing the background. Luckily he did not have the model in front of the cactus, or else it would of been awkward. To my opinion adding the black and white shows more emotion and has a classic feel.

Converting pictures to black and white makes the picture look bold and classic. Such as anything in art, people will have different feelings towards a picture. Black and white is rich due to the fact that there will be a different sensations on who you ask and what the picture is. There is a large collection of of shading and texture in black and white photography. An example of shading is hair, hair will have light spots while other parts will be darker. In portraits, the human skin has a large amount of textures. No matter if the skin is soft and young or the skin has wrinkles and old. As an example the woman has soft and rich skin, while the two men have wrinkles. The two men wrinkles are in the neck and cheeks. Which to my perspective has a lot of texture.
