I did depression. I had a lot of ideas dor depression, but so little time. So I decided to do my friend laying in the street with a dying flower in his hand. It symbolises depression by having my friend in the middle of the street. When you are depressed you have suicidal thoughts. So him laying in the street symbolized depression. The dying flower also represents depression because when you get depressed you feel as if you are dying and that you are worthless. A dying flower is worthless, it doesnt bring happy moments anymore. I chose to do it because I was learning about depression in psychology, so I thought it would be fun to experiment depression by taking photos.
A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. For example, 'she is the apple of my eye'. That's another way of saying, she's all I really care about, no one else but her. Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. For example, a heart. A heart is a symbol for love. Right when you see a heart shape you instantly think the heart has to do with love. Now if you see an actual heart that belongs in a humans body it just simply means an organ that you need in order to be alive.
Describe: In this photograph there are civilians putting flowers inside the guns. The guns that maybe military police are holding. The Military police are wearing armor. And the photograph is in black and white.
Analyze: The photo is a high angle because it looks like the photographer is above them. The photo is in black and white with a slow shutter speed. Slow shutter speed is making it look blurry but still a bit clear. And there is a little bit of rule of thirds. The flower is right wear the grid would be, making it rule of thirds. Interpret: The photographer is probably trying to show us that we need to have peace and love, by putting flowers in the guns. And by doing that they use civilians putting the flowers into the guns. To show that they want the peace. Judge: The photographer shows love and peace in a different way. Making it easier for us to tell what is happening. I like this photo, although I think the shutter speed should be a bit higher so that it wont be as blurry. Henri Cartier Bresson’s photos are very well taken. I love how he was able to capture moments that weren’t meant to be captured. It makes the images seem more realistic and much more fun to figure out what’s happening in the picture. Although it was a little hard to figure out why he took the pictures he did. My favorite would have to be the one with the girl and boy sleeping. I could tell they weren’t posing for the picture. The settings looked as if they were in a train on they’re way to somewhere far. A candid photograph is a photograph captured mostly in motion, without creating a posed appearance. This is achieved by avoiding prior preparation of the subject and by either surprising the subject or by not distracting the subject during the process of taking photos.
