Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

I definitely had more challenges than the last shooting these pictures. This time, I actually had to take pictures of real students instead of outside shapes and general stuff like that. The whole period of time I was taking pictures, I was just thinking about where to place myself so I could achieve that rule.

If I were to do it again, I'd try to get pictures in different areas of the classrooms I shot in and not be so awkward about it. Because, since I'd never been in classrooms apart from the ones I'm used to, I had my partner ask if I could shoot in there the first time. Thankfully, I got used to it though. I don't even think there was anything I could do the same. This shoot was not very successful. There is much room for improvement in my future.

For the next set of prompts, I'll find the rule of thirds the easiest since it's just making the subject off center. That, I've found, is one of my favorites because it totally changes the look of the picture. As for the hardest, the framing is hard because you can hardly ever find someone sitting just right in the frame of a window. I'm still not sure about the shaping one. It's kind of difficult to like find lines that make a shape other than a square. I'll look that up later.
