This is a wonderful, heartwarming portrait that perfectly captures a proud family moment on the field!
What's Working
- ✓Great connection and genuine expressions from both subjects
- ✓Excellent use of location and props to tell a clear story
Room to Grow
- Straighten the horizontal lines of the bleachersmedium
- Use a longer focal length to reduce perspective distortion on the subjectsmedium
Category Scores
✓ Props and location strongly support the subject
→ The horizontal lines of the bleachers are noticeably tilted
✓ Even, flattering light on the faces
→ The lighting is very flat, which reduces the three-dimensional shape of the subjects
✓ Skin tones are natural and pleasing
✓ Genuine warmth and connection between the subjects
✓ Focus is sharp on the subjects' faces
→ Shooting with a wide angle close up causes slight perspective distortion, making the legs and feet appear disproportionately large
✓ Classic, effective approach to a sports portrait
→ The pose and setup are very traditional and expected
Your Action Plan
Top Actions

Walter Iooss Jr.
His classic sports portraits often use the environment and props to tell a story about the athlete, much like you've done here with the bleachers and gear.
