1. Connotations Photo Exercise

2. Strength
This photo represents the word strength because there are
the words “I am not weak. I am a woman” which shows you
standing up for woman's rights. The other canvas in this
image says “I am not a special snow flake. I am nonbinary”
this also show the standing up for woman's rights and
showing that together we have the strength to achieve a
change in society.
This shot is a straight on close up as you cannot see all of
the two canvas’ but it is not on an angle.

3. Poverty
This photo shows the word poverty because you can
see the decomposing shoe which symbolises that not
everyone can afford to replace shows when theirs
break, whereas other people can afford to buy a pair of
shoes then throw them away when they become dirty.
This shot is a medium shot that is straight on, because
you can see the whole of the broken-down shoe. There
is no angle to the photo so its at eye-level.

4. Love
This photo represents love to me because you can
see a girl and a boy close together and the boy is
helping the girl with her work. There is clearly a
connection between them because of how close
they are.
This shot is a medium shot as you can see from their
waist upwards and this is also an eye-level shot but
from the side and not straight on.

5. Fear
This photo shows fear because it appears to have one
girl about to hit another girl with a piece of cardboard.
The first girl seems to be angry and the second girl
seems to be fearing for her safety.
This shot is a medium shot as you can see both their
torsos and their heads, this is also at eye-level going
straight on. You can see them both from the side which
means you can see more of them.

6. Desire
This photo shows desire because you have
the desire to win the trophies and want
them to be yours. You can also say that you
have the desire to have the gold because
everyone wants to be rich and come first.
This shot is a close up because can only see
some of the trophies whereas there was lots
more in the cabinet. We didn’t use flash
because you would have seen the reflection
in the glass, there is a slight reflection on the
glass in the left hand side which doesn’t
look as nice.

7. Danger
This photo represents danger because of the truck
going past at a fast pace, the photo was creating by
using the shutter speed. We played around and got
the result we wanted. We thought that this made
the photo look more dangerous because roads are
busy and in a split second they can change.
This is a low angle shot which makes the truck look
even more terrifying. This shot is also at a medium
distance as you can see most of the truck but not all
of the end and top.

8. Wealth
This photo shows wealth because you can see that he
has a posh camera and although that doesn’t mean
that your wealthy it shows that you must have some
wealth to be able to own a new up-to-date camera.
This shot is a close up although it isn’t an extreme close
up, it is still pretty close. The angle is in between high
and straight on because it is just at a small angle.

9. Weakness
This photo is showing weakness by falling for peer
pressure. A boy is in a restricted area and he also seems
to be running, this could be because he doesn’t want to
get caught or is just generally scared. The boy is slightly
blurry which draws our attention to the sign.
This shot is a close up at a low angle and this makes the
viewer see more of a danger in the photo.

10. Loneliness
This photo shows loneliness because there is a girl
sitting by herself on a bench and she seems to be
looking of into the distance. This photo seems to be
quite dark which more of a gloomy and sad look to it.
This shot is straight on and a medium shot as you can
see her back and the back of her head.

11. Friendship
This photo shows friendship because there is two girls walking
together and they seem to be getting on pretty well as they are
walking quite close together.
This shot is at eye-level and is a long shot as you can see the
whole of their bodies.

12. Purity
This photo shows purity because it is bright
and there is a close up of a tree. The tree
symbolises purity because it is pure and
simple and has no worries in life.
This shot is a close up with a high angle
because it was taken whilst we were stood
up. You can see some of the grass but you
cant see anything else.

13. Greed
This photo is showing greed because there is a boy who seems to be hording
all of the sweets in front of him. The boy seems to be wanting the food and
not wanting to share anything, therefore being greedy.
This shot is a close up of the food and the boy although the boy isn’t actually,
fully in the photo. There is straight on look about the photo because you can
see there isn’t any angle to it.
