Portfolio Review- Photojournalism

   I wanted to start this review off on a positive note, with the things I really liked about the portfolio. My favorite thing is how it portrays McCallum. The pictures in this portfolio are so specific and show how much of a community the students of McCallum are. The pictures are all about one of the fine arts we have here, which is such a big part of the school. Pictured is the dance program, singing, and photography. The pictures are all individually amazing, which also really showcases the talent at out high school. The portfolio overall looks very professional and shows Mac in a perfect sense, and I really appreciated that.
  On the other hand, there were a few things I didn't like about this portfolio. I didn't really get an overall theme, though I did get a sense of high school I just couldn't connect to the theme as much. Individually these photos added to the portfolio, but I couldn't understand how the photos really flowed together. I just couldn't connect the photos to a certain story, and didn't really get how they flowed together.
   Although I did have some criticism for these photos, overall I really loved the portfolio. I loved that feeling I got from them, that high school, young spirit vibe. I also like how they not only portrayed students but also what the believed in or stood for. These photos got a good message across, and I really did like this portfolio,

  1. I appreciate your criticism about the theme. You said that the portfolio portrays McCallum which really isn't true as six of the images were not taken at McCallum at all. 90
