#1 Awkward...
1) Explain what you see and your first reaction.
2) What's wrong with this photo in your opinion? Would you describe it as cliche?
3) Could you give this photographer (and the family) any advice to improve their family portrait photo?
Another one of those awkward family photos, thats my first reaction. The fogged out frame in the non-compositional postion. The order and set up of the family is for sure a cliche as i see it all the time. I would say so much to this family and the photographer. That would be along the lines of changing every thing to fit and flow.
I see a family posing for a family photo, my first reactions to the photo it looks ackward, they arent matching, they look weird. In my opinion the photo looks awkward because they were trying to match. I would tell them different posses, and were something that is close to the same thing to look like a family photo. And for the photographer I would tell him to choose a different background and set up the photo differently. Edel. Melissa
1). My first reaction was there is way too much pink in this photograph. 2). This border is ugly, the family is poorly dressed, and everyone is in a weird position, the son doesn't even look like he is a part of the family. 3). First off change what the family is wearing, get rid of the border, and make the family look like an actual family by putting them in different positions.
I see a happy family that is all having a good time and matching in pink. The only thing i can see thats wrong is the little boys pink shirt is darker then all the other oink clothes. At this point i dont think i could give any advise on how to take a better picture. Lang. A
I see a family and they're all wearing pink. My first reaction was that it's very odd. In my opinion I think the border around the family shouldn't be there. I also think that they could've been placed differently. I think this is a little cliche. If I could give any of them advice it would be to not all wear pink, to not be smiling awkwardly, and to make sure the editing of the picture is good.
I see a family and my first reaction was that I saw a family that is connected. I think that the pink around the corners made it seem like it did not need it. The photo is fine and how there positioned is fine too.
I thought that this picture was just awkward in general. I do not like how they make it look like they do not want to tough each other, but yet they are family. I also do not like how the little girl is it's the worst part of the photo she just looks like she doesn't belong. The advise I would give it to try not to all wear the same color shirt spice it up a bit, and I would choose another layout and make it look like you actually love your family.
I see a 90's-styled family, looking very awkward! I think the way the little girl is being held by her mom is a bit weird. Hilarious none the less. Advice for the family: Next time, not so much pink!
My first reaction to this photo is that there is a lot of pink! First of all, the pink filter/frame is awful and takes away from the main focal points of the photo. I would describe this picture as cliche because it is unoriginal, the background is pretty standard and the people and there poses look very fake. Bollinger M.
In the picture, I see the most awkward family picture that has even been taken. my first thought was wondering if thats a real photo they wanted to take. This photo is really over done. There is way too much going on. My advice to the family and photographer would be never wear pink again and next time less stuff going on. Garrett. M
First reaction was "oh look another awkward family photo, real original internet." The smiles of everyone looks forced... except for the woman in the middle, it was probably her idea. I would tell the photographer and family to lose the matching colors and the whole purple/pink color scheme idea.
My first reaction was, as I'm sure it was with many others, 'that's a lot of pink'. The father also looks very uncomfortable. I think what is wrong or cliche about this photo is that they are all wearing the exact same shirt color with the same cut, minus the daughter, and that their smiles look fake. I would have a less stiff pose, and I would have them wear coordinating colors instead of the same color. Also, I would do away with the pink oval thing around their photo.
1) I see a family with pink shirts and it looks almost like they're almost a black hole because of the background. 2) I think the arms of everyone should have been placed differently because it looks like some people have multiple arms and are just awkwardly positioned. 3) Maybe choose a different background and not wear matching colors so everyone looks different.
It's really pink and I see a family of four matching for a picture. I think the blurred edges look weird and their hands are awkward. I guess its cliche. They should move their positions around and look ready; the photographer should fix the placement of each person to make it more balanced and make sure they are looking forward.
The photo is very tense and appears too fake. My first reaction is to almost cringe because of the matching shirts and the pink filter around the edges. The people are matching too much and makes the photo tense and awkward. I think it is cliche because of the set up and overall fakeness of the photo. I would tell them to have fun with it, maybe not be so serious in the photo and definitely not match as much. I would also tell the photographer not to put the pink filter in. Madison, R
First, I noticed the matching pink shirts and how weird it looks, along with the pink faded border. It is very strange, I think. The pose is very cliche for a family portrait, and I suppose the fact that they are all matching. To improve this photo, I would put them in normal clothes, get rid of that awful border fading around the edges. Also their pose is very non original and their hands are in really weird places, like groping the girls leg and what not.
I see a very awkward family portrait. The color scheme for this photo doesn't compliment itself. I wouldn't have different colors of pink/purple shirts with the blue background and purple boarder around the photo. The photographer should have the hands placed differently and I would place the little boy in a different position so his shorts would be hidden.
I see a whole lot of pink. The poses seem unnatural. I think this photo doesn't have enough diversity of color. I think the photo would look better with different colors and more contrast. It also isn't balanced very well in my opinion. There is too much weight in the lower right hand corner. I do not think I would describe it as cliche. I would tell the family to wear more color, and the photographer perhaps to arrange them in a more balanced fashion.
The first thing I saw was that they are all wearing pink and I thought that was weird. Then I noticed the inappropriate touching of the little girl by the dad and mom. The only thing I would say about this photo that is cliche, is that everyone is wearing matching colors. If I were to give the family any advice I would say to choose a different pose because this one is borderline inappropriate. What I would say to the photographer is to cut down on the shadow boxing around the corners, I feel there is too much.
My first reaction was why is all the family but the little girl wearing the same shirt. I think that theres no color variation in this photo. It all in pink and purples. The photographer and the family could of worn different shirt that are all the same color. There also need to be a busy back ground with what their wearing.
My first reaction to the photo is that there's too much pink. I find it kind of odd that The mom is sitting and the little boy is standing behind her. Yes I think its cliche because they're all matching. I think the family should dress well next time and also find a different pose to do.
YO!
