Maggie O- Blindsided


 This photo is called “Blindsided”. It’s a picture of my friend that I took in the backroom with Mr. Rigsby’s Canon T7. I posed him while the lights were still on and then used one of the light painting tools to draw circles around his head, giving him that blindfold of light, hence the name “Blindsided”. I then put the picture into photoshop and lowered the contrast, raised the highlights and shadows, and sharpened the image. This allowed for his body to appear alongside the light and for the picture to become really hazy and dream-like. I could’ve used the touch-up tool to clean up some of the specks and extra things, but otherwise I am really happy with how this photo turned out.

This photo is very aesthetically pleasing especially with how the red colors compliment eachother, the only critique I have is if you cropped more in on the middle of the photo. Otherwise, good job!

The exposure is really good in this photo. I love the color's in this photo, I like the ton of red. I'd absolutely put this photo on the wall.

I like this photo! I love how the light reflects on his shoulders and slowly fades out further down his body. I also like how the lights are covering his face and slightly blurry. I agree that you should use the retouch tool and fix a couple of spots but other than that, great job!

This photo has a lot of potential and room for improving. I wish that it wasn't so cropped at the top and there wasnt that random dragged down red part to the right of the image. Personally, I would remove that red splotch, extend the image at the top, and clean up the spears in the background. Overall, I really like this image. Good work! :)

I like how visually appealing this photo is. I also like how there is a main focus which is the light surrounding his face. I also like how its glowing around him to bring it to the main focus. The only thing that I would change is to do exactly what you said and used the touch up pieces to make it less blurry. Overall, great job!
