2. Meaning of Juxtaposition
Juxtaposition is the act or placement of two things that
contradict each other. For example the picture I have
used contradicts each other with life and death. The
tank resembles death as it’s used to kill and the kids
are signs of young life. You can also talk about the
contrast of the sky compared to the colour of the
desert.
3. Elements what create a
juxtaposed image
There is a variety of elements what can create a
juxtaposed image. For example some factors what can
can create a juxtaposed image is age, height, life and
death etc. Age can create an juxtaposed image as
there can be sign of new life and old. Height can create
a juxtaposed image as two people could have a big
difference in height. These are simple examples of
juxtaposition photo’s as the opposites are clear to spot.
