Top 10 Ashley Blasak

  1. The lines in all of your photos are very strong. The angles of the shots are unifying.some of them are very purposeful but i would be careful with photos like number 9 where it looks like it should be straight but isn't by accident. I think your contrast is nice over all of the photos

  2. My favorite of this set is definitely the second photo. The softer focus and blurrier edge pairs well with the mysterious elements to this photo. The girl has a very sad and lost expression, and the location of the photo is not quite clear so it leaves the viewer to question what happened and where she is. The non-evasive approach was also effective since the girl is not paying any attention to the fact that the picture was taken, and it adds more raw and true emotion. I like your choice to tilt angle of image, 10 it's clear that was intentional and it contributes nicely to the edginess of the photo. Photo 1 was comical with the almost sarcastic expression of the middle police officers face. Overall these photos captured a wide range of emotions while still working well with your theme.

  3. The intentional tilt in angles you photograph in suits really well with these subjects. I enjoy the first photograph, it is daring to capture police in this manner. They appear to have a defensive demeanor and attentive to the officer in the center; almost unapproachable yet you undertook the moment! Some photos need greater contrast in the tones but overall they convey your theme well.

  4. These are all so good. You are great at capturing moments and the images are all so crips and clear. the contrasts are excellent and I think the tilting of the camera adds something to your images.

  5. My favourite photos are two and ten. They capture these sides of the young women that not many ever see, and I find that fascinating and appreciate that aspect within the majority of your photos. I personally wish some of the images were more straight than diagonal because many of them look almost identical due to the angle of the photo.

  6. It is really fun seeing familiar faces in your photographs, although I don't know these people personally, the thought of chance is really intriguing and I look forward to your pictures each week because of this. Your photographs feel more confident this week. They are a bit more playful and less creepy, which, considering your appreciation for creepy, may or may not be a good thing, although, I do think in a series it might be nice to have a few images that fall into a more "normal" category.
