List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio – The photos are too much alike. The photos were too distant. Not enough strong singles.

List two things the judges like- Some of them are different looks. They like the graphics.

List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio – They are boring. The pictures aren’t of the ‘most important part’. They’ve seen these stories before.
List two things the judge’s like- they like the portrait of the old man with the oxygen tube. They are in focus.

Name of photographer –Sam Adams

List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio – one picture has the back of some ones head. You can’t tell if the people are doing something or not. Too far away.
List two things the judge’s like- it’s kind of nice. They like the one with the guy coming toward the camera in a tunnel.
What is your overall impression? What did you like or not like? This one is alright. There are a lot of action shots where people are moving.

2. What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it? It’s the same stories, but different angles. Everybody is doing something in the pictures.

What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses? There are many photos that are really good in focus and he uses a lot of the different techniques.

3. They are looking for individuality, and a different view of the stories. They’re looking for thing that don’t repeat the same story over and over again.

1. I agree with them on Part 5, they are not that good of pictures. They cut stuff out.

2. I disagree with the on Part 3, I think some of the pictures are really good. Not all of them, but some.
