Sports portfolio notes

1.)
Video 1
a.) name of photographer- Sam Adams
b.) focus of portfolio- BMX biking story
c.) 3 problems- had things in foreground and back ground that were unnecessary, didn't have enough action for a BMX bike story, was very repetitive, stuck with what he knew.
d.) 2 liked things- silhouettes and mirror images
e.) Impression?- Liked to shoot when there was no action, didn't usually take risky shots
Video 2
A.) Carlos Delgato
b.) Picture story and singles
c.) clutter, heavy on levels, too much motion blur
d.) content, and portraits
e.) Didn't take many candids, many things felt staged
Video 3
a.) Melissa Golden
b.) Photo Story
c.) out of focus, clutter, intercepting objects
d.) Portrait, and composition
e.) Took great candids.
Video 4
a.) Justin mott
b.) photo stories and singles
c.) needs portfolio building, more variety, not enough focus
d.) composition and light
e.) Unique photos and one of the judges favorites
2.)
a.)Color, Composition, good angles and proximity, great candids as well as portraits
b.) The only weaknesses I see is the staging in some parts and the photoshop, nut everything else looks great.
3.)
a.) the judges went through their favorite portfolios and decided on the winner by choosing the one they thought had the most diversity and originality of well taken photos.
Part 2
1.) One photo that i agree with the judges on is the photo of the woman yelling on the tennis courts with her racket thrown in the air in the No Pro, No Collage category. You couldn't see her face but you could tell in her body language that she was ecstatic and the cropping was well done.
2.) What I don agree withe the judges on is the black and white picture in the No Pro, No Collage of the man holding a basketball above his head in a hallway. The photo is nice but it doesn't really stand out from the crowd or have something that the others don't.
