Picture Four

Theme or focus of images On each photo shows a person and on picture shows two people, theses class as illustrations because of the art done around the bodies. For example, picture four shows a man in a suit, with the background as a pc with one hand looking through a folder, with the other hand throwing paper balls into the trash as if deleting something on pc.

Picture one is one of best ones out of the six because it suits best with the art contrasting a good blend of photography, it shows a guy punching a clock, may refer to when at work when you punch in to show that you are present. His clothes look like he some sort of martial artist.

Then there is picture five which remind me of the film Percy Jackson(Poseidon’s son) which he is the god of the sea so this picture may refer to the person as a god who can control the sea, therefore kind of makes him look powerful making the photography all that much greater.

Then we have picture six which almost like trying tell me something, it shows a guy and he plays a role as a puppeteer of two women one with a pink dress and the other women has a green top, if you look at the guys top it has similar colours to the girls but it is cut down the middle. It is like he can control these two women but has equally feeling for them by wearing the multi-coloured t-shirt. It is similar picture five because they are both male and they both have control over something.

Picture Two is a man kicking a piggybank which has wings, it’s like the phrase “… will happen when pigs fly” saying it’s never going to happen so this image may show that pigs can’t fly because they get kicked all the time by people like him, if you look closely you can see that the guy has sport shoes on maybe for rugby or football, in this case hitting pigs. It could also refer to picture one because they are hitting

something one each image.

Finally there is Picture Three I couldn’t get my head round it but it looks like a pimped out tricycle, with it big wheels and nice paint job, on the guys face you can see that it is a fast ride because he is hanging on for dear life but also you can tell it is going really fast by looking at the ground and you can see that the stones are flying as if it is going at a fast speed to throw the rocks away from the tires.

These entire Images look like they were taken in a room with some sort of material against a wall or even the floor, so that the artist could paint the designs, then place the person to where the director of photography would place them.

CompositionTheses look like it could be taken from the air as if looking of a bird’s eye view because it looks like that and it is mostly full body shots to get the whole person and they included most of the images art because that was the right suite for the person, there is a lot to see in the image you can see what I said I could find in the questions above, also there could be more thing that I can’t see. If I said them now then I would have seen Them.

As the photographer decides where to stand, moves the camera, or zooms in on a scene, she selects what to include in the image. What did the photographer choose to include or exclude in the image? If she had zoomed out or stood further away, what additional information could we see? The composition of the photograph can also be altered later by cropping. How does the decision to frame only certain elements in the photograph affect the message conveyed by the photograph?

Techniques used

Probably used rule of thirds because they may needed to get the person in the right position and they did so by using the rule of thirds, then there is shutter speed it had a fast shutter speed because no movement is happening but the illustration show the movement, even though it is a still image. Could say that it was a range from 1/1000f to 1/500f maybe or even higher also you can’t really tell if there is any use depth of field because nothing seemed to be blurred out.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths: - they all are kind of similar because of the photographer’s choice of what to show, such as picture one and two but also Five and six, these show of the colours of the art and go well with the props and person using those props making the photography very good.

Weaknesses:- Some of the people’s choice of clothing didn’t seem to suite the art making it repel to each other making it not look as good, it would still look good but it still has the little things that won’t work maybe that person could of warn something more relevant.
