Bryan Farley's website critique


       Every photographer should have a well organized and artful website. Not just for the views of others, but to show their skills and inspire those who share the same dreams. One of the key qualities for a website is to express their inner thoughts through photography. For example, taking shots at various angles can define who you are as a person. If he/she takes pictures of someone alone in a picture all the time you can assume that photographer feels lonely at times. It all depends on your website so it is important to keep it live and get other attention. Our class chose our teacher, Bryan Farley's website as a reference to what should and should not be included in an excellent blog site.  
    Looking at his site as a first time viewer, i immediately was entranced by the first two close up shots that delivered color and excitement. On the other hand, the next two pictures were more shaded and do not grab my attention because they do not give the same feeling. Just as this link only shows two picture then directs you to the more specific themes, he should have just used two photos one on the right hand corner and one on the left. Besides that and not putting a list of everywhere he as been and maybe a few accomplishments he has achieved during his photography years just as this one does( Production Paradise),his first page is great. 
     The short story about his life included in the "About" section was short sweet and to the point. His story explains his influence on the photos he takes which really give great in site about who he is personally. If he added a photo that displayed his common theme it would be perfect. His flat images appear really unique and original all the while keeping a sense of dynamic emphasis.
