CONNOTATIONS PHOTOS

Friendship■ This photo

represents the idea of friendship because these girls are walking closely side by side with each other. The shutter speed of this shot was high because they were walking and its only slightly blurry (looking closely at the feet).

Love■ This photo

represents the idea of love because the shot is a photo of a couple. It’s taken at an angle so the boy and girl look even closer together to form the idea of ‘love’.

Strength ■ This photo represents the

word strength because the banner uses words like, “I am not weak.” When standing up for woman’s rights. The shot is quite close to make the writing seem even bigger.

Fear■ This photo represents the

word fear because of the expressions both of the girls have and the girl on the right is holding something that could be a ‘dangerous’ weapon and the girl on the left is showing fear through her facial expression. It’s also a medium/close up view shot to really pick up on their facial expressions to show fear. This photo was also taken at a high shutter speed so it froze the swinging arm movement.

Loneliness■ This photo represents

the word loneliness because it’s an over shoulder shot from far away creating the effect they’re all alone and plus you can see no one else is there as well.

Poverty■ This photo represents

poverty because the photo is of a broken shoe, creating the idea that not everyone can afford shoes whether their expensive or not. It’s a close up shot so you can see that there are strings attached and all the different parts of the decomposing shoe.

Purity ■ This photo represents the

idea of purity because it shows a small growing tree/bush. There is no signs of technology or anything else in the photo other than the growing tree, this shows us the baby tree is pure and full of life. It’s a close up with a small aperture so you can see all the details in the leaves and in the plant pot itself.

Greed ■ This photo represents the

idea of greed because it shows the boy looking directly down, over the food as if he was planning to eat it all. This photo was taken from quite high up, so the you can see all the food on the table. It’s also quite far away, but just close enough to see the grin on his face.

Danger■ This photo is meant

to represent danger because roads can get quite busy. It shows two cars driving at the different angles. This photo had to be taken with a sharper aperture otherwise the light from the sun would have ruined it and turned it into a bright blur not being able to see what it was of.

Wealth ■ This photo shows wealth

because it’s an expensive camera. This photo is a close up, to show all the qualities of the camera, it has a small aperture to have a really sharp focus.

Desire ■ This photo represents the word

desire because it’s about the thought of winning and being awarded trophies. This is a close up photo with a wider aperture as only the trophy in the middle has a sharp focus, the others are slightly blurred.

Weakness ■ This photo shows weakness

because it’s an example of giving into temptations of breaking the rules. This photo has a long exposure time because the boy is moving and it’s slightly blurry from where he’s climbing under the ‘no entry sign’.
