productby makingitlookthe most appealingindifferent
ways. In this image, there isacarton of apple juice inthe
middle of awhite backgroundsurroundedbyappleswith
a brightlightshiningfromthe rightside. My first
impressionis thatthislooksfreshandnaturel because
the carton is surroundby apples,which tellsusthatthe
productis made fromthese applesmakingitlookmore
appealingandhealthy. Ialsogetisa fun andbright
feelingbecause of the colourpalletof the applesand
coloursof the carton itself.The onlypurpose forthis
image isto illustrate themandtosell peoplethe service orproduct,sothisistellingyouthat5 alive
ishealthytodrinkand but alsotaste nice. Technically the productitself is positioned inthe middleas
if most advertisingphotographs itisinthe middle togive itthe mostfocuswhen lookingandthe
brightlightfromthe right givesita nice exposure andcreatingshadowsinthe white background.
The lightisonlyin the rightmakingthe applesonthe right brighterthatthe one on the leftthisis

whatthe productactuallylookslike andalsogivesitthatheavenlyfeelingbecause we cansee more
of the shadowbecause of the topof the carton.
Promotional
Promotional Photographs isusedtopromote a productor
brand.Theywant to promote theirproductina certainway
where itfitstheirtheme andideals.Forexample,thisimage
ispromotingthe bandqueenthatwhyall membersapresent
inthisimage and alsostyle andcolourof thisimage helps
representthemtellingpeopleseeingthiswhotheysortof
are as they’re facesstandoutfromthe darkusinglight.
What I like aboutthisimage thatit hascharacter to it
because of the lightingmakesthemlookmore distinctive
whenlookingatitand they’re dressedall inblackmaking
themstandout more form the black.One thingI don’tlike
aboutthisimage it doesn’tmore of theirbodybecause then
we wouldof have betterideaof whattheylooklike.
My firstimpressionof thisimage isthatthe band memberlooksvery ominous andspooky because
we can’t see theireyesbecause of the shadowsandtheirfacesare all veryserious starringstraight
intothe camera givingita very dramatic feel toit.There are four people inthisimage telling youthis
isall the people inthe they’re positionedandvery symmetrical waywitheach memberonside of
the picture makingitmore dramatic pleasing.The bottompersonisthe onlymemberposingwithhis
handscoveringhischestlike if he wasdeadina coffin.Thismakeshimlookalmostghostorzombie
2. like because of the pose andlighting.Monstersand zombiesare usuallyassociated torockin the
musicgenre because of mostrock bandshave dark themto it withsometimesusingcharacterslike a
zombie.
The lightingisonlyshining ontheirfacesmakingthe exposure of their skinpopoutfromthe dark
onlyshowingtheirfacescreatingshadowsfromface features.Mostof theireyesandnostrilsare
coveredbecause of thisanditsmakestheirfaceslooklike skullsorghosts,thisagainIsreferring to
the theme of rock and all of theirfacesare starringdirectlyatthe camerain seriousexpressions.This
isto create tensionandmaybe discomfortbecausewhenthey are lookingatyoutheybecome more
focal pointand that’smakesthe shotmore powerful andstrong especially withFreddie’s pose atthe
bottom.The position of themcameraisunique aswell because they’re all lookingatthemthere are
at eye level showingthemasexpectedtothemtolookinglike inreal lifebutalsoFreddie isatthe
bottomof the people butisalsothe onlyone posing andisin frontof the three othermembers
showingusthat he’sthe leadermakinghimibnthe image more powerful anddominate thanthe
others.The colours inthis image isverymute and they’re verylittle colourinitthere practically
none butwe can see the coloursof theirfaceswhichbrightwhite fromthe lightexposingintheir
face on some brown hair colourbutthe restis all black.There are no brightcoloursjustserious
tonesof black thisshowthe dramaticvalue of thisimage and tell usthe viewerhow seriousthis
bandis because differentcolourscanmeandifferentemotions,suchasblackmeaningdeath,
mysteriousandsuch.The plainblacknessof the backgroundgivesme amorbidfeelinglike
somethingsthatunknownornegative like inmosthorrormoviesthe darkisscary factor. The
backgroundisemptyjustblacknessonlyshowingthe fourmembersoyour eyesnaturallyfocuseson
themmore and because of that theirfacesbecome more distinctiveandrecognizable andthat’sthe
mainpurpose of thisimage.Thisisan iconicimage of queenandit’shere to promote themselves
and theirsongbohemianrhapsody.So,puttingmore of the attentionandfocusontheirfacesis
clevermarketingasmostof unique shapesandcolourison theirfaces.
Overall Ido thinkithighlightsthe mainimage of the bandandwhat they all about because queenis
a rock band inthe 70’s and 80’s that sang aboutserioussubjectsandthisIthinkthis photograph is
well executed onrepresentingqueenasitisnow an iconicimage of the band.The message of this
picture isthisis whowe are andwhat were kindof all aboutbecause thisa promotional image so
there isn’tanyreal story I think justthe message of theiridentity.

herthe wayshe presentsthe dressand shoesthatis all at similarlevel because herfeetare upon a

componentI do not like aboutthisimage isthe floorof the backgrounditblendstoomusicwiththe
dressand itdoesnot lookgoodbecause youreyesgetconfusedwhenyoufirstlookingit.The
bottompart of the dressblendsinalittle whichcause some colourstclash,howeverthisonlyalittle
problembecause the dressdoesn’tblendintoomuchandmost of her dressisabove the floorfrom
the positioningthe camera. Fashionphotographyisalwaystypically modelled byfemalesandthisis
mainlybecause fashionis muchmore popularforgirlsandclothesforgirlsare more artisticthan
malesclothing. Moreover, seeinganattractive girl modellingsomethingwillmake itmore appealing.
The lightingonthisphotoshootiscomingfrombehindthe camerasandthiscausesshadowstobe

veryconventional forfashionphotographywhere we have aplainbackgroundtogive more focuson

Photojournalism
Photojournalismiscapturingphotosand

justlike regularjournalismbutwithphotos.
I like thatthisimage tellsastorythat’s
meaningful intodayandtellsahistoryin
time where the worldwaswatwitheach
otherand usedviolence.Thisphotowas
takenby Timpage in the Vietnamwarand
thisimage tellsme thatwar waswas hard
and tooka toll on people. Myimpression
was soldiersare peopleandtheyhave
moralsand choicesthatdefythemas person
and a personwho didn’twantthisisjust
takinga break but we can see fromhis posture he is slumped downindepressionand exhausted.It
4. tellsme thatwar was the enemyandthe people theywere fightingbecause theirliveslikethis
soliderhasbeentakenawaylike theirfreedomhasbeentakenawayyet they’refightforfreedom.
The gun is restedprettyfaraway from the soliderlike if itwasanentityitself andshow thatgunsare
crazy and isa destructionbecause the gun representswarandhate and thiscertainpersonseems
reallyfrustratedwithitandhe usesitas a weapontokill because the settingaroundhimis
destroyedwithcrackedwallsandbrokenconcrete.We see nothinghappyorlivelyinthe image just
nothingbutsadness.Yougetthe feelingof emptinessof the personlikehe hasnothingleftbesides
that gun.A mainthingis we cannotsee hisface so we don’tsee the emotionfromhiseyesorfacial
expressionbecause of thatall we getfromhimis depressionandsadnessfromwhathe isdoing.
The image is inblackand white whichmakesthisimage muchmore seriousaswe don’tsee any
broughtcoloursjustthe dull coloursof black andwhite tellingyouhow seriousthis image andalsoit
showsitsage andhistoryinblack andwhite.Whensee blackandwhite we thinkmore of the past.
Whenthere’s nocolourswe don’thave a lot more distractiongivingmore of the mainfocusonthe
actual personorobjectsalsothe black andwhite makesthe image more realisticandmoodywhich
fitsperfectlywiththe themeof thisphoto.The contrastbetweenthe blackandwhile givesmore the
photomore emotional impactandthe same thinggoeswiththe lighting.The lightingagaingivesthe
photomore realismand showsmore detail inthe photomakingthe photlike amomentintime has

thisimage it’sfromthe sun.This presentsthe image inamore realisticwayandshow us the image
inliterallynewlightinsteadof artificial lightfromalight.The framingof the shot isunique aswell
because we the guyand and gunare equallyinthe photowithbothof thembeinginthe middle of
the shot andnot justthe person.Thismakesthe guna more eye catchingobjectand tellingthe
viewerthatthe gunis an importantpartof the image to the person.The framingof the image isa
compositional technique withthembalancingthe twomainsubjectsinone image makingthem

I like thathumourof this photoa lotand it showsthe

The owl on hisshoulderisjustrandombut alsojust
unique andfunnybecause he lookingatus like were

The lightingonthisimage fromone artificial lightsource whichisabiglight.The lighthelpstoshow

High street
Highstreetphotographyisphotosinpublic
areas mainlyinthe streetsshowingmany
featuresof a regulardaylike a flyonthe

regularday.
I like the manydifferentcomponentsin
thisphotoparticularwith all the cars and
people ismakesthe photoseembusyand
givesa lotof objectsto lookat. It also
givesyoua free feelingbecause of all the
car andpeople doingtheirownthings
makingitthisphotoalive givingyoua
confidentemotion.Ialsolike the distance inthisphotoandthe angle it’stakenfromwhichgivesthe
photomore character, but one thingI don’tlike ismaybe the lackof colourin thisimage Ifeel like
theycouldhave got more colourif takenfrom sunnierdayorpeople wearingbrightclothingthen
the phot couldlookedbrighterinsteadcolder.
The lightinginthisphoto isnatural and showsthe whole streetinadifferentwaybecause the sun is
a big lightitshowseverythingonthe streetandcoloursthat an artificial lightcannotdo.The skyis

The backgroundof the photis plainjusta solidwhite whichmoststudiophotoshave whenhaving
no backgroundandthe reasonforthisis because givesmore focusonthe mainsubjectwhichthe

because the familyiscloserandsharper.The white of the backgroundhelpsthe photomore

Architectural
Architectural photographyisthe photographingof

In thisphoto we have room that fallingapartwith

such.This abandonhouse still seemstostill have
onlythree leatherchairstwobeingnormal size and
one beinga longstretchedchair.The sealinghas

dirtand debris.All the wallpaperhasbeenripped
off and I like thatistakenlike if itwasa normal
room.I like we can imagine whatitcouldhave
lookedlike before andthe three chairsseemtonothave movedbecause theyare still positionedin
domesticwayandit showsitsage and historyfromthe style of the chairs.
The natural lightinginthisshotmakesthe roomverypeaceful andwe cansee it ina differentway
because the lightbeamsfromthe windowscause lightareasanddarkareas of the room. The lighting
makesus see the roomina quieterandpeaceful way.Were usedtothinkinganabandonedhouse is
scary but since thisisshowninthe day time Idon’t feel uneasybutpeace andemptyof how lifeless
thisroom isbut still givesyouthe feel of hope.Thisfeelinghope mightcome fromthe beamsof

like nature takenoverthisroomwithtime anddirt.You revive manyinterpretationsof thisroom

8. Medical
My firstimpressionof thisphotoisthatthisis a
seriousmomentthat’shappeningandkindof
scary because it’sinblackand white itkindgives
youan uneasyfeelingbecause iconicthingslike a
mad scientistlikeFrankenstein orsurgerywhich
kindof scares youbecause youdon’tknow what
he’sdoingwhatkindof surgeryit is.Hisfocuses
intentiontowhathe’slookingatmakesme feel
focusesonwhat’shappeningandthe twoblack
thingsonhis glassesagainconfusesme abit
because surgeryisaboutlife anddeath.Those are
the reasonswhyI like itbutI don’tlike the
framingandcroppingof the shotbecause we can only see histophalf of hisface.Maybe there’s a
reasonto that because itgives more focusonthe guys itself andshow more detail withinhisface
makingthe whole thingmore dramaticbecause there’snobackground.We dosee a little of the
backgroundinthe bottom rightbutits blurry and that’sbecause the depthof field ismainly show us
the mainsubjectand makeshimlookmore distinctive andmakesthe viewerpaymore focustothe
subjectratherthan the background.
The image is inblackand white whichmakesthisimage muchmore seriousaswe don’tsee any
broughtcoloursjustthe dull coloursof black andwhite tellingyouhow seriousthisimage andalsoit
showsitsage andhistoryinblack andwhite.Whensee blackandwhite we thinkmore of the past.
Whenthere’snocolourswe don’thave a lot more distractiongivingmore of the mainfocusonthe
actual personorobjectsalsothe black andwhite makesthe image more realisticandscary whichfits
perfectlywiththe theme of thisphoto. The colourblackandwhite givesusaninterpretationof
deathand mysterybecause all we see hisface butdarkcoloursalsomake us thinkof deathand feel
curious.Many numberof interpretationscanbe suggested,maybe the image maybe ameditation
on life anddeaththe doctorin white representinglifeandnature of innocence andthe darkinterior
representingdeath. Althoughwe have noideawhatthe doctorsees,there isa sense thatitis
somethingtragicordisgusting.Ithinkthisimage givesusthe message inaclearway and does
highlightthe face of the guy whichshowsthe theme verywell inthisphoto.
9. Illustration

I like the style of thisillustrativephotoasitsblend
photographyanddrawingwiththose pencil sketches.It
alsogivesthe photoan importantmeaningbehindthis
storyand visuallyisnice tolookat. I don’tlike the
personinthisimage he doesn’t relate tome and most
photosdon’tbecause they’re typicallyaboutadultsand
oldpeople.
The backgroundof thisimage isprettyplainexceptthe
the colourand texture of the backgroundlookslike
paper,we alsoget thatideabecause theirpencilslines

The no backgroundgivesthe mainsubjectmore focusbutas well inthisimage itservesapurpose

a reallyeffective waywherewe we canrelate andunderstandbecause of itssimple nature of

whichcouldbe any problemsyouhave aspersonas thisimage Isabout anger,fear,stress, anxiety

I reallylike the portraitstyle of thisimage asitreallyhelps
capture the personalityandeffectof the lightingand

and depthfield itshowsaswe see alot of detail and
componentsof photographygoingon.The qualityof the
photois greatand I don’tdislike anythingaboutthisphotoI
like everythingaboutitwiththe differentcomponentits
usedand the wayit positioned.
The lightinginthisphotographisnaturel givingthe subject

the photois more focusedandclearthan the backgroundof
the tornado androad thisis depthof fieldandthismakesthe
girl sharperand makesthe the viewermore focusedonthe

11. Documentary
Documentaryphotography of photostakenthroughouttime
to documentshistoryanddifferenteventsinhistory.These
photosare usedtoeducate people abouthistorytoshow
whatthingswere like soyoucan neverforget.
I like thisimage alotbecause itsveryiconicphotographthat
representsthe endingof WorldWar 2 andwhat people felt
like atthat time and thisphotoshowswhatit lookedlikein
TimesSquare inNew York. I like thisimage because anyone
can tell see whatthe storyand message isaboutas it shows
the celebrationaroundthe worldof whatpeople did.In this
image as US navy soldiergrabsakissesa nurse ina white
dresson the streetwithcrowdsof people around themselves
as well celebrating.Thisimage hasbecome iconicandis
rememberedinpopculture becauseof whatrepresentsit
givesyoua raw feelinghappinessandproudness alsoshows
a romanticfeel toit because of the couple andcan be
interpretedinmanywayof whatishappeninginthisimage
like twolostloversfiningeachlike inromanticfilms.Youcan
feel the sense of joythatthe people inthisphotographfelt
afterthe endof worldwar 2 and see how happythey’re after
the longstruggle andits reallyencapsulatesthe time period
of thatmoment.
The photo isinblack andwhite because of the technologybackthenin camera, as theycouldnot
shootphotoswithcolour,butthe blackand white Ithinkreallyhelpsthe photoespeciallyintoday
whenlookat a photolike this.Ithinkthisreallyshowsthe pastas thatyou thinkof whenyousee
blackand white soit tellsyoustraight away thatthisis a momentin history.The blackand white also
helpsvisuallywiththe coloursasthe two people dressedinnormal uniformsinthat eraisin solid
colours.The man isprettymuch all inblack andthe girl all inwhite andthiscontrasts well witheach
otherand thisgivesitmore attentionfocuswhen viewing, astheyare the mainsubjectinthisphoto
fromtheircolouras well asthe framinginthe camera because the cameraisfocusingonthem. The
couple inthisphotoisclearlythe largestpeople inthe frame andthat’sbecause the focal pointof
thisphotois the couple butalsothe camera isfocusingionthemmore because theyare nearerto

well andnarrative. The narrative isthattwo people inatime happinesskisseachotheroutof joyof
beingalive and notat war because of the endof WorldWar 2. I thinkone of the messagesisthat
