Photography Assignment

#1

I just wanted to show you all my current project I am working on, a Documentary Series that I am putting into a powerpoint. The topic I originally chose was to take photos of a city in southern New Mexico (Las Cruces).

Here is the Link to my project, although it isn’t complete just yet (skip the artist statement), this is what I have so far.

Any suggestions on what I should add or remove? (again skip the artist statement slide D: its horrible and I wrote that part in like 5 mins). Any feedback is welcome, I am a starting photographer using a Nikon D3300 DSLR, and this is one of my “Documentary Projects” that I have been working on this month. Each photo is Photoshopped with CS6. I just posted my powerpoint of what I had so far for any suggestions/feedback. (Project due next Monday, Kill me.).

If you want tips from someone certified in Microsoft office,

  1. Your second slide has too much information, maybe break it up on 2 slides

  2. For the pretty photos maybe add captions on each explaining what is going on in the photo or what the photo is depicting

Ah I see, whatever here’s some tips anyway ha

#3

Well like I said I wasn’t finished (captions etc) … I clearly stated to skip the artist statement (aka, second slide) because I might redo it / delete that slide

Besides the captions, the groups of photos are separated by categories as stated by slides separating the parts.

I just got certified in Microsoft Office too! Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, shooooooot. Good work Javi!

Ah, calibri, as much as I used to love thee, you are slowly turning into the new comic sans…

Anyway, I like it! Maybe mix in some colour photos with the black and white to liven things up a bit. The whole presentation is very grey.

My uncle is a semi-professional photographer. If you want to take a look at some of his stuff for inspiration, this is his website

Looks good, but like Ouhai said, very grey. Dunno if that’s what you’re going for though.

My cousin is a freelance photographer if you’re interested:

(Ignore the Font. Photos look much higher quality on orig file, may look darker than it seems.)

Damn, Javi. Nice shoes in that seventh photo xD

#12

I like it! But again, it’s very grey. Might make the whole presentation better if you added a couple of colour ones. Also take out that one with your feet in. This isn’t instagram.

What could look cool is a pair of battered shoes placed strategically in the foreground. Maybe focus on them to make the background slightly blurry? Just an idea.

#13

Totally with Ruby in this one, your shoes off set the picture.

#14

Nice work Javi! I was tryna find a camera and that Nikon one seemed nice but too expensive for me XD. I may end up getting this camera unless u guys have any better suggestions for the price range:
