Academic shoot reflection & Critique

1) I felt like it was a very open prompt. I struggled trying to shoot what I think would be academic to others eyes and what people think of when they hear the word. 

2) I focused on angles and making sure that what I wanted to focus on was clearly shown. For the picture of the boy sitting down working on his homework, i sat down in the chair by him and got up close to get the shot I wanted.

3) If I did this shot again I would try to shoot more interactive scenes, and have students interacting in the classrooms. I would also try and do a better job at getting more rule of photography pictures.

4) I would keep my idea of getting my subject in the main focus the same because I think that it is important to make clear what you were trying to capture.

5) Rule of Thirds, I think is also easy to shoot because you just put your subject on one of the thirds. 

6) Framing & Lines are the rules I always struggle to shoot because I never really fully show them, only in parts of photos that aren't in focus.

7) Balance & Simplicity are the rules I feel that I need more knowledge on, more balance because I don't totally get what to shoot or look for when balance is given or wanted.
