Speed Peer Critique
"I cannot see that you planned the shoot. If you did, make it clear."
This is something that I definitely need to work on! For a small shoot like this I should have developed a short shot list at the very least so that I could ensure that I produce a proficient amount of images and nothing has been glossed over.
WWW: "I like the different angles for the car and that you have tried different positions."
EBI: "You could try taking more pictures of the inside of the car and see if you can cate the same professional look as you have with the outside."
This is something that I have personally identified as an area of improvement. Leading on from the first critique, if I had planned the shoot better I could have made sure that I covered all areas of the car equally. Photographing the interior would have made the images more personable as you would have been able to imagine yourself sat inside the car, interacting instead of feeling like an onlooker.
"I like that you have taken photos from different perspectives."
I'm glad that I tried to find intricate areas of the car to photograph. This makes for more interesting images, that hopefully people would have seen much of before. More interior shot would have been ideal, however. This is an area to focus on, moving on.
"I like how clean the pictures are, the red colour of the car looks solid. I like that everything around the car is quite blurry, which makes me focus only on the car."
I am very happy with how the overall colourway turned out for this set of images. I was definitely helped out by a strong contrast between the dark ground and the green of the surrounding environment. These images highlight the importance of establishing an underlying 'look' or theme within a photo-series. Going forward, I hope to implement this into everything that I shoot.
