Aleli S- Deal Me a Melody


 I took this photo of my friend Mars in my home studio at the beginning of this month. I named this photo “Deal Me a Melody” because of the deck of cards and the red vinyl record in her hands. I really like how this photo turned out because of the amount of light I used when taking it. I didn’t have to edit it much all I did was clean up the floor and bring her out a bit more.

This is sooo cool!!! I love how professional the photo look! I like how everything goes together in the photo. The vinyl matches the shirt, and the cards around her hair. I'm out of words. I just wanted to say that the photo looks so cool. Keep it up!

I really love this photo. It stands out from many others I've seen. The cleanliness and coordinating colors create a cohesive look. Overall, it's a very abstract and unique image. Great work!

I love this photo! It is so creative, and I really like the contrast between the white, black, and red. I think the color palette looks really nice, obviously matching the cards. I also really like the framing, I think it all works well together.

This is really cool! I really love the lighting; it looks very professional! I also really like how the color of the vinyl matches the color of your subject's shirt. This is super creative and I really like the title of your image too! It's very fitting. Keep up the good work!

I really like the creative concept of combining the deck of cards with the red vinyl record—it clearly connects to the title and gives the image a strong sense of symbolism. The overhead composition works well and keeps the viewer’s eye moving across the frame, especially with how the cards are scattered through her hair. The bright, even lighting makes the colors stand out nicely and keeps the photo feeling clean and intentional. One suggestion could be to slightly crop in closer or add a bit more contrast so the subject stands out even more from the white background. Overall, this is a visually engaging image with a clear theme and thoughtful composition.

This photo is so cool! I This idea is unique and the title is sooo creative. I wonder how this picture would differ if it had a black background instead, but I still love the lighting/white. The mood is very fun and silly. I love this picture. - AR HHS
