Interpretation: The other people in my group thought this was a great interpretation of the actual painting "A Girl with a Pearl Earring." The key to this portrait is the gaze/the look in the eye, which others found hard to capture. However, they thought that I captured it perfectly.
Evaluation: Again, my group thought that the facial expression I captured was great and really worked for the recreation. Things that I needed to work on or change would be the lighting. The lighting on the face was good, but it would have been nice to see the hair (I changed the photo above after my critique.) Also, if the pearl earring were more pronounced, it would have had more of an impact/focus.
Extension: We could see this image extending into a series of recreations of famous portrait paintings, or paintings by the same artist.
Print Suggestions: It seems a little too dark, so try to lighten it up more.
Interpretation: People could see this photo being used as a book cover. There was even a suggestion that I submit it for a competition at the library for a poster (which I think I might do). And other people thought of exam week when they saw this photo; in that we have a lot of stress and pressure that is weighing down on use during that week.
Evaluation: Everyone loved the cropping that was used for the final piece and the lighting is subtle but works really well with the piece.
Extension: Having a series of movement based around this photo would be interesting. For example, showing the subject falling over with the books sliding off her head, frame by frame.
Print Suggestions: No one could think of anything to change with this image.
Interpretation: Since this is a self-portrait, it shows my personality: soft and kind.
Evaluation: The slight smile on my face gave a calmness to the expression and the feel of the photo which worked well. Also, it is slightly out of focus, which works well with the feel of the photo, along with the diffuse lighting reiterates the same feeling. My group suggested to try a different angle, to make the composition a little more interesting.
Extension: Maybe this could follow the prompt of shooting the same subject at different angles and maybe with different lighting.
Print Suggestions: None.
Interpretation: It really shows my personality, of not wanting to be in the spotlight or wanting their photograph taken.
Evaluation: My group suggested playing around with the cropping. They thought that the hand should be more off center. Plus, it would be more interesting to have more detail and better lighting on the hand.
Extension: This was a hard one to think of extensions for. Maybe having a series of photos that gives off the personality of the subject, but never really shows her face.
Print suggestions: Again, just play around with the cropping
