Ben Elliott - Kendall Photography Critique

In these two photographs a drummer is depicted in different lighting situations. In the photograph on the top the subject is lit from the back creating a silhouette of the drummer and drum set. The lighting reveals fog surrounding the drummer giving the photograph an even more interesting subject.

In the bottom photograph the drummer is lit from the front. The subject is wearing a white t-shirt. The shirt contrasts the black background and black drum set. The photograph is made more interesting with two pops of orange. The orange has both a high chroma and value.

I think that both photographs do a good job of portraying an interesting subject in two different lighting situations. I think that the bottom photograph could have added even more color to contrast the black background. The background creates to much negative space in my opinion.

Over all I think both photographs were really cool.
