PHOA209: W6A1: Feedback

Hi Kathy,

You will find my feedback for your W6A1 in the form of “individual written feedback & a group video critique". Please use this feedback to help you prepare for your W7A1.

RE: Revised the project and created a minimum of thirty new images created with program required equipment based on areas identified in past assignments. Submitted a contact sheet of minimum thirty images, use of handheld light meter, and wide-angle image of lighting scheme, and edited any final image selections. Complete Metadata was included in contact sheet. Selected three images suitable for inclusion that meet qualitative criteria to be included in the final portfolio (according to the criteria listed in the lectures and self-evaluation document) and successfully performed any necessary post-production adjustments. Included full-page lighting set up shot(s).

Completed the 30 new images; included image of handheld light meter in use & wide-angle image showing use of required 3 out of 3 lights

Student's assignment is currently meeting the Associate's Degree standards; location was well stylized. Student is encouraged to shoot wider to give viewer more of an understanding of the size of the kitchen. Student may also want to consider aiming any hard lights up at the ceiling (to bounce the light off of the ceiling and to create a softer lighting effect.

Student is encouraged to refer to the the group video critique in regards to how to improve for the next photo shoot (particularly for photographing exterior architecture). Suggested top images are noted in the group video critique. 
 
RE: Updated the portfolio, résumé, and statement within the web portfolio site, including the URL. Materials meet Portfolio Standards.

Student updated statement from W1A3; details regarding the also updated resume is discussed in the group video critique; files have been not been re-attached.

Student is encouraged to double check that the updates were also made within the Bēhance Profile Page & to reply back with a URL link. Details regarding student's Work Experience section, the About section, and portfolio in Behance page will be noted in the gradebook.

Images in portfolio should show a strong understanding of feedback received in the past as well as from W6A1.

(Student is encouraged to continue to make updates throughout the course.)
