Reactions to Portrait Sets: Scream, Reflected, Where the Wild Things Are

Scream

This image had a mostly positive reception, however, it was suggested that I should have tried to brighten the teeth of the subject and make them more white, which is something I had not thought about doing. The pitch black background worked well with the high contrast lighting on the subject, and the class agreed with this. Someone also commented that they liked that the eyes are obscured, which is something I like too but was worried might not go well with others.

Constructed

This image went over well with the class as a whole. People didn't seem to realize immediately what was going on with the mirrors and the heads, which was how I intended it to be, and once they did they thought it was pretty neat. The class didn't make any suggestions about how to make this one better, but in retrospect, I wish the background was a little different, either all leopard print or fading off into darkness.

Where the Wild Things Are

I decided to keep the yellow-green caste on this image to keep its creepy atmosphere, but the class seemed to think it would have looked better if it was white balanced instead. I wasn't sure about keeping the pink lens flare or not, but everyone seemed to enjoy the splash of exciting color it brought into the image. Overall it had a pretty positive reception and the class thought it was close to the original.
