Maggie O- Dreams

This photo is called Dreams because it’s a blurry, soft photo that almost looks like it came out of a dream. It’s a self portrait that I took with Mr Rigsby’s Canon T7 in his studio. I edited this photo by cropping it, exaggerating the lighting, adding a pink and yellow hue, and blurring a lot of the photo for a softer look. One of my only complaints is how grainy the photo is. Because of how dark the studio was when I took this picture, the photo didn’t come out as clear as it could have been. Other than that, I love how this turned out and I’m very proud of it.

This is an amazing image. I love the creativity in using a mirror for the subject. It has a nice noir feeling to it. The coloring and lighting is perfect as it gives sharp details. The clean yet grainy look helps more to emphasize the "dream" look that ypu mention.

This picture is very cool, I really like the reflection with the lighting emphasizing the target. If you lower the exposure and the lighting, I think it will look cool, but overall it looks very good now.

I like multiple aspects of this photo! The lighting, the shape o the mirror and how you fit in it, and of course the subject ad her pose! Very serene photo, and it gives a youthful vibe to the photo. I don't think anything sticks out that should be edited.

This photo really caught my eye with its lighting. I really like the offset look to this photo, and with its dark and eery lighting it almost seems like something out of a horror film. The light behind the subject in the image really helps give a silhouette on your right side. I do like the soft blurry look that you implemented as it really helps sell the dreamy. This is a great photo, and would recommend trying some filters or curve adjustments which I think could make it even better if you see fit. Overall great job, this is a good one to be proud of!

I really love this photo; I think the choice to make the focus in this photo slightly blurry adds to the theme of this photo being dream like. The framing in this picture is fantastic! I really like how the mirror frames your face perfectly. The mood in this photo is terrific. I think the use of dark lighting, vinaigrette, and soft textures helps the emotion radiate from this image. Amazing work, keep it up!

I really like this picture and how the model is posed. The angle, editing and lighting is really good. I think if the glare in the glasses it would be really cool but overall I love.

I like how you used the mirror to make interesting angle. The lighting of the image is also really nice. I don't really have any critiques for this image
