Catie Marqua
In Caties series of 20 photos I notice the hawaii theme that she has created. When she traveled over christmas break she decided to develop a portfolio in which her pictures revolve around her trip. They are all scenery shots and are extremely intriqut.
Catie used detail in a couple of the art elements in her pictures. Particularly, the rule of thirds. Palm trees are not centered but placed perfectly. You can also see the line outline of the mountains the lead your eye throughout the picture. Lighting was also incorporated through the pictures. None of them are too bright or too dark. Rather she edited this in post or payed attention while she was shooting, they turned out well either way.
I think Catie was trying to use these pictures to remember the good things in life; spending time with family, enjoying the beautiful scenery of hawaii, and having a good time in general. When I look at these photos, they make me want to vacation here!! Catie portrayed the simple things in life that can put a smile on anyone's face.
To improve these pictures, catie could have completed more editing. Changed a couple of them to stand out. They are all suppose to be similar but hers are really alike. Maybe putting a couple of the pictures in black and white or finding some way to edit them. I think catie did a fantastic job with the theme of her photos and I admire that she went to hawaii and used this as a way to complete her portfolio. All of her pictures are well executed and incorporate the art elements.
