Academic Photo Shoot Photos

Lines:
How well did you follow the rule?
I think i followed the lines rule pretty good because i focused mostly on the line of desks that create a slanted line, which leads back to the 2 students in the back room.

What is the subject (be very very specific)?
The subject is the two students working in the very back of the room.

Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is?
Although this is not the best photo, i think those that look at this photo will understand that the focus is mainly the students in the back of the room.

If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently?
I think i could've taken a clearer photo and included both rows of the desks, that way there would have been 2 lines leading back to the subjects in the back.

Simplicity:
How well did you follow the rule?
I think this is the perfect photo for simplicity because there is a blank background which doesn't distract viewers away from the focus.

What is the subject (be very very specific)?

The subject is clearly the toy lizard, which i found in a biology classroom.

Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is?
Yes, i think that it's clear what the subject is because there is nothing else in the photo.

If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently?
Overall, i think that i followed the rule well, but i think i could have gotten rid of the sink in the background which kind of causes a distraction.
Rule of Thirds:
How well did you follow the rule?
I don't think i followed the rule very well, it's unclear what the subject is and the photo is also blurry and out of focus. I found it difficult to find a good example of the rule of thirds, because people in the classrooms were constatnly moving around. I think that if you divide this photo into thirds, you will have a balanced photo with subject in each portion.

What is the subject (be very very specific)?
Now that i look at the photo, i'm not too sure what the subject is. I tried to focus mainly on the student working on her project in the very front left corner.

Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is?
No, i don't believe that it's clear what the subject is. If i had zoomed in or focused on a specific group or person, then i think this photo would have turned out better.

If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently?
If i could change this photo i would just focus on a different part of the class and not try to include so many people in the photo, because this distracts the viewer.
Balance:
How well did you follow the rule?
I think this is a perfect example of balance. The three girls form together to make a triangle and make the photo feel more balanced.

What is the subject (be very very specific)?
The subject is actually the three girls working on their science project.

Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is?
I think that it's clear what the subject is, because the girls are at the very front of the photo and there is not that many distractions in the background.

If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently?
I probably could have made sure that there was no one else in the background of the photo, that way the viewer could focus on the 3 main subjects.
Framing :
How well did you follow the rule?
I had a difficult time trying to follow the rule of framing. I don't think this photo is the best example, but it was the only picture i had that i think somewhat follows this rule.

What is the subject (be very very specific)?
I tried to focus mainly on the girl in the middle, and she is intended to be the main subject of the photo.

Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is?
I think that when viewers look at this photo, they will think that the 3 girls are supposed to be the subject. However, i wanted the subject to only be the girl in the middle.

If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently?
I would have told the girls on the side to stand further away from the girl in the middle, that way they could almost be creating a line going towards the subject (girl in middle). I also probably would have zoomed out that way the subject would be more clear.
Avoiding Mergers:
How well did you follow the rule?
I think i followed the rule very well. The girl at the right end only has half of her head showing in the photo. So i think i created a perfect merger for this photo.

What is the subject (be very very specific)?
The subject is intended to be the group of girls that were working together on their class assignment. I tried to make it obvious that the girl at the end is the merger./

Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is?
I think that it is very clear what the subject of the phot is because i made sure that there was a clear background. The subjects of the photo also fill the frame.

If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently?
I actually think i followed the rule to the best of my abilities, and i wouldn't really change anything.
