Description: This is a picture taken while I was on top of this structure. In the image, I (the subject) am looking forward into the distant with a natural expression on my face. This representing freedom and hereafter which falls under nature as it is the human’s natural instinct to desire liberation within themselves.

Critique: To improve, the composition should be adjusted to a closer point where the subject fits most of them frame. Therefore, the audience will focus on the subject instead of the general background which delivers the message more efficiently.

Description: This is a picture taken on Orrin of him gesturing a trending meme. In the image, the subject has their head turned to the side and showing their jawline while making a comical face. This is to tribute the internet meme culture through photography, which despite having modern aspects and elements, is still rather old-fashioned. Such theme conveys happiness and a separation from reality because of its exclusive intent and message.

Critique: To improve, the subject’s face should be more centered and zoomed in to the point where the camera focus on the subject’s jawline. This can better the tribute of the Jawline Check meme which is the central point of the entire piece.

Description: This is a picture taken on Gene of him photographing someone else. In the image, the subject is exclusively shown in a third person perspective of a photographer. This presents a differed view of the term “photographer” as they are usually showcased through their own work but of someone else’s. The piece conveys the theme of plain and nature as it exhibits a naturally captured moments of what is usually a setup (photoshoots often requires setups and plans, even street photography).

Critique: To improve, the lens can zoom into the camera on the subject’s hands a bit more, best if to the point where the camera screen becomes visible as that will provide a vivid appearance of a “photographer” (referring to the camera).
