Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1) Some challenges I encountered while trying to take pictures while following the composition rules were: trying to accomplish all the rules, and getting the right angles while taking the photos.
2) The technical aspect of photography that I found myself thinking about most was focus. For example, in my picture of the model made up of connecting pieces where I focused on the model and blurred the background.

3) If I could do the assignment again, what I'd do different now that I know some basic rules of photography is focus more on accurately depicting avoiding mergers because I didn't do that in my photos. 

4) What I'd do the same is focusing and holding the camera correctly. 

5) When I go off shooting for prompts next time, I think the easiest rule to accomplish will be rule of thirds. 

6) The rule that I think will be the hardest to capture is avoiding mergers.

7) A rule that I'm not totally clear on is framing, and I can figure out the rule by looking back at the powerpoint that we previously read.

1) One thing that I like about her photographs is how she angled the camera for her balance and simplicity shots.

2) Another thing I like about her photographs is her ideas for the photos such as simplicity and leading lines. 

One thing that could be improved in the photos is not putting the subject in the center of some photos such as her avoiding mergers, balance, and framing photos.
