Critique of Abdullah's "Humans of UTSA" pictures




Abdullah’s photos are great overall, but the poses are all the same. All of his photos are from head to chest. Great use of light in general. The quotations in his captions are not used in the proper way.
Photo#1
Nice pose, a good exposure and blurriness of the background, gives a nice composition. I would critique the sleeves shadow on his face. A better shoot if it was taken in another place where it does not show any shadows on his face.
Photo#2           
Pretty good picture, the frame is good and clear. The plants are very lightening up. The tree behind him makes rule of third composition. I like the colors and the exposure of this picture.
Photo#3
I like this photo closed frame photo. The shallow depth of field makes everything behind her blurry and brings her face very clear with a great pose and exposure. One thing to change might be the angle of shooting, I did not like her hair fade into the plants. 
Photo#4
A great colors and exposure, the frame is kind of messy, but the pillar is balancing it. The blurriness of the plants and the building behind bring her face into focus. Her smile gives a beautiful and enjoyable image.
Photo#5
Good exposure, I like the light and the composition, but the thing that I did not like is the angle in taking this photo. He showed half of the guitar, where in my point of view, showing the whole guitar would give a great touch for the photo.
