Scale exaggerated - Robert

  1. Great idea, I just think you need to add some shadow to the man and may be make him a bit bigger so it is easier for the eye to see.

  2. The minimal composition of the photo itself is nice, but I feel the concept could have been pushed further. While there is a nice reflection of the camera on the white surface, the figure does not have this reflection or even a shadow, making him feel very cut and pasted in. Maybe also adding other elements to drive the concept, as right now it is very vague. What will the figure do once he reaches this large object?

  3. The composition is very nice, but I would probably push it with a different angle. That will allow the person to appear bigger so you won't look very tiny. If you decide to stick with this image I would add the shadow on the person.

  4. I don't think you need to add any more elements to suggest scale, I think the minimalist approach you've taken. However I would suggest working on the door and steps element as they are not as clean as the rest of your composition and appear distorted, think more about the perspective.

  5. Overall, I think the idea of scale exaggeration is clear. However, I would work on the perspective. The door's shape and perspective seems off in comparison to the side of the camera it's on. A shadow would help the figure seem more natural in the frame, as well. Overall, good job.

  6. The camera has a minor reflection in the material that has become the ground of the picture. The figure doesn't. The figure is also entirely separate from the object. I definitely think the effect would be better accomplished if the figure was interacting with the object, or at least it's shadow.

    I think the matching of the angles is well done though. It doesn't instantly stand out as a composite, despite the obvious scale play.

  7. There is a distinct visual difference between the camera, which is super sharp and well lit, and the man, who is a bit fuzzier and lacks the mirrored reflection in the white plexiglass. He would also appear more distinctly if he were dresses in black. This would also form a nice visual connection with the black camera.

    A good idea. It will be interesting to see how so much negative space works with stretched canvas.

  8. I enjoy how clean and simple this piece is, however, I agree with Jeff about the figure being better lit and more in focus. Doing these things and adding a reflexion on the plexi would make this more successful. I enjoy the negative space but I also feel like it may be too much? Potentially adding a third element like a light meter or lens cap or something could make the space feel slightly less empty.

  9. I get the concept however I think that this is kind of cliché and a little simple. I would look for ways to push the concept or present it in a different way! Maybe make it more of a house scene, put it around grass, trees, bushes, flowers, etc. instead of the plain white space
