symbolism

In this photo, i see a women with batteries in her hand, and a guy holding a remote controller on the edge of the picture. She has a sad expression on her face and her body language, sitting down looking sort of depressed, shows that the women is unhappy. The image is in focus and was sharpened by her eyes to make the image look more intense. The color of the photo is almost black and white, but has a tint of color. I did this to give the picture more of a darker feeling to it. For symbolism, i chose to portray womens roles in society and how they are beaten down physically and emotionally by their husbands. This photo shows how the women is being controlled by her husband as if she is a battery operated doll. The reason she has the batteries in her hand is to show how she is tired of being controlled and is gaining confidence by removing the batteries from her arm herself. This photo was taken outdoors in front of the grass to give a different look to the picture. In my opinion, i achieved the goal of the assignment. However, i could have improved by having the objects in the photo not so spaced how making them harder to see. I would have to pick a main focus in a    
picture next time i photograph.

camera head

In the picture, i see a tourist around a beautiful background with trees, and she has a camera as a head. I dressed my model in this way to go with the camera head because tourists usually walk around with a camera. The tourist is in focus and i tried to make the camera focused as well, using photoshop since it wasnt so clear when i shot this photo. This was done accidentally. This photo is lightened an taken outdoors in front of some trees. I like how the colors are really bright because they stand out in the picture. Also, i softened the picture a bit so it looks nicer. I think the work is successful because i replaced the models head with an object without using photoshop, and i believe i did this well.

animal perspective

In this photo, i see a girl afraid of something on her arm. She has a frightened look on her face, and that is because the photo was taken in the point of view as a spider. That is why the vision is distorted because that is the way spider's see things. The image was first taken in focus, but after being photo shopped, it blurred the picture a bit. The image is light and taken outdoors next to plants because that is where spiders usually are. In my opinion, the work is successful becuase i did the assignment correctly and photoshopped the picture in a way that corresponds to the point of view of a spider.
