9A Photographic Study Project

Process:  I chose a 1960s Wurlitzer Jukebox for my project.  I used a Cannon digital camera.  Lighting was my biggest challenge, because of unwanted reflections and glare.  Also, I had to be careful when photographing the chrome because of reflections.  I used Light Room to enhance my photos and Photo Shop to create the collage.   It was both challenging and fun to come up with different angles and look at the details of the jukebox versus the jukebox as a whole.

Critique:

Dee Selph Wightman: Great colors. The only thing which stands out are The black lines around the odometer image. They aren’t the same size of your others in your collage.

Nancy Wells: This is fantastic, Margery! i love everything about it, except the type might need to be centered. But it’s kind of growing on me in that spot. Could you use the eyedropper to get the darker shade of yellow from the jukebox for the text? Wonderful! Nancy

I agreed wholeheartedly with their critiques and adjusted the font size to make it more centered, and the size and placement of the odometer square.  Also, of my own accord, I increased the spacing between the photos to make it more visually pleasing.

  1. I just love your photography project. The jukebox was a wonderful and interesting choice with so many different colors and lines. I really like the collage you did and how you used the numbers in the middle. I felt like your images were all different but had a consistent feel with the horizontal lines throughout the images. Really nice job! Here is a link to my blog post: https://sharoncom125blog.wordpress.com/2016/03/03/9a-photographic-study-project/

  2. I think you did a great job in choosing your subject. A jukebox is very uncommon and therefore very intriguing for this project. I think you picked some great angles and there is only one thing that I would change is to try to not catch your camera in the shot. Overall great job capturing the colors and angles.
