Are There Any Distracting Elements?

  • for the first photo, the cup and the other objects on the table are slightly distracting. In the other two photos there are little to no distracting elements.

Would it Look Better Through a Different Focal
Length?

  • for the second photo a tighter focal length could enhance intimacy by focusing more on the subject and the papers

What is the Background Doing?

  • For the first photo, the background is very bright, and the small objects in the background shows the working environment. However, I feel like the objects give less identity pieces compared to the distractions it makes. If I can retake, I would avoid the objects and make the image more simple.

How is the Composition & Balance?

  • For the first photo, the position of the subject creates a diagonal line that separates the subject and the negative space. The would benefit from more negative space on one side, eliminating the small objects

Is the Colour Accurate?

  • The colors seem exaggerated, the very dark shading and the over bright background. I photoshopped the image like that to emphasize on the red light on the subject’s face and hand.

Does the Depth of Field Suit the Photo?

  • In the last photo, the background light is not fully distracting but can be confusing on the depth. This is because there is no other subject blocking it. I can either avoid it or add something corresponding to it.
