Academic Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you?

One of the challenges that I faced was trying to get a photo that follows clearly all the rules.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.

Some of technical aspect  I focused on was like blur background and good focus on the main subject.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

I would probably take better photos that follows the rule better.

4. What things would you do the same?

I would still do the same of asking people the do a certain thing so I can get a photo that would follow the rule.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?

The easiest will probably be rule of thirds

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?

I think avoiding merges might be the hardest to do because you're trying not to cut anybody out.


7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?

Probably avoiding merges, and I can probably start taking better pictures on try to figure out what it is.

Academics Shoot Preview

The Story



I think this photo is the story because in the picture it seems that the teenagers are providing food for the homeless. Giving them a good decent meal.

Action and Emotion
I think this photo is a good action and emotion because of the group of teens in a circle holding hands and bowing their head.


Filling the Frame

I think this photo is a good photo for filling the frame because of the group of students crowding the steamy sink area and all putting their hands in it.



1. I picked this photo because of the focus is on the kid and the lab his working on and the background is blur out which makes him stick out more.

2. One of the rules of photography is balance because of the beaker in the center and the two beakers on the sides the kid is pouring in the center breaker.


1. I think I can take photo like the ones above in chemistry classes and student leadership.

2. I would like to visit the dance room, chemistry rooms, student leadership, 

3. I would be more creative in getting a better photos.
