What is your overall impression?
I don't understand what he was trying to do, his portfolio didn't have a story or anything.

What did you like or not like?
How each of his photos didn't represent anything, I liked how he used the lighting, but his pictures were meaningless. They have no center of attention, on one of them he has a water bottle in a center of the shot, in another there's a girl in the background, another a guy playing a drum while a girl gets off a bus, and you can't see his head.

Originality

no story to the photos without relying on the captions read by the judges
