Photographer Critique

Part of our assignment was to critique other photographers so I will dedicate this post to that purpose.

Photographers:

1. Tom Grissman

I really enjoyed Tom Grissman's pictures. His editing techniques make the pictures very bright and clean looking which I really like. Below is a picture of his that I really liked. The subject seems to be an old bait shop. The colors and feeling of the photo are inspiring and enjoyable.

2. Samantha Mastropolo
 Of all the photographer we were asked to critque, Samantha Mastropolo was my favorite. Her collection was obviously of fashion photography, a genre that I really enjoy. Her pictures display the clothes very well but they also have a very classy, artful feel to them.

3. J.D. Small

J.D. Small's work is clearly targeted toward men. His collection had a lot of photos of woman and cars, but this picture of  a building was incredibly surprising and refreshing. It is a very compeling picture because of the different shapes, angels and lighting in the photo. His talent is very obvious in this photo, despite his other subject matter.

4. Bill Schwob

Bill Schwob's work was very interesting. His collection of photos didnt have a centeral theme but they were all very nice. This picture is the most memorable to me. THe blueness of it is calming and I just want to know why he took this. It seems like an add for computers or something, Im just very interested.

5. Scoot W. Baker

Scott W. Baker is my favorite photographer from this group. His work is the most beautiful and powerful. The subjects are real people and objects making all his work very relatable. This picture of the red door just really stood out to me. I think it is because of the color and the contrast between the shed, the door and the wall. Its very colorful and memorable.
