Portfolio Analysis

1.

1.  The Photographer is Jordan Murph
2.  The general focus was on sports in this portfolio.
3. They thought that the end of the portfolio was bad and dragged down the rest. They thought the took to many photos in the same position or photos that we have seen a 1000 times. They also thought his staged photos where bad, and that he should have forced more on live action shots, were he excelled.
4. They liked his composition for the first half, as well as his unique look at some aspects of sports.
5. I think he has potential to be great sports photographer. But his bad or bland photos outwayed his good photos towards the end.

2. 

1. The name of the photographer is Anthony Soufflé
2. The general focus of the portfolio was on stories.
3. They thought it was bland, they talked about wanting more detail on some of the photos. For example the shot of the pelicans where it seems like they are trapped in the line but you can't see that. They also though he went into familiar territory to much.
4. They thought he took good sports photos. The judges mentioned how he had some good emotions in his photos.
5. I though his photos were mostly uninteresting.

3. 

1. The name of the photographer is Mellisa Golden.
2. The general focus of the portfolio was on stories.
3. They skipped through her portfolio very fast, because they thought it was uninteresting. They did not like what she did with her story. The judges said the photos would be better if they were not all after the main event of the photo.
4. The judges really liked one of her portraits, they also though she made some creative choices.
5. I already have forgotten all of these photos, except for one. She had good ideas but needs more practice.

4. 

1. The photographer of this portfolio is Justin Mott.
2. The General focus of the portfolio was Stories
3. The judges though that his photos needed more focus. They also thought that the portfolio was not well built, some photos appeared twice in the portfolio. One last critique the judges had was that some photos led the viewer top places that can not be seen in the photo.
4. The judges really liked the style of the Photographer, they liked his focus on space. The judges also liked his unique view of many different lifestyles.
5. I liked this guy a lot, he took interesting and good pictures.



2

1. They really liked how he would get right up in the action of the photos.
2. I thought his photos where all pretty unique and independent from each other. As for weakness I guess some of the photos could have had better angles.

3
1. They went through each of the portfolios that they thought where the best, notably the top 3. It was a pretty clear winner that ended with a unanimous vote.

1. I agreed with the judges on the picture of the Rugby helmet. That was a great photo.
2. I disagree with the judges about the goose photo, yes it is a rare and very cool shot. But the dog racing one was just better to me.
