Assignment Five: Emotions Capture

Calm

Reflective

Gloomy

Aspiring

Abandoned

This is quite a headache too. I had thought that my photos were pretty fitting to the emotions described but after the feedback given during tutorial, I realised they were pretty shallow. The photos do not have a context that further portrays the emotion stated but merely used angles. For example, if I were to shoot anything from a low angle with the skies as background, it can be termed as “aspiring”. I will continue to mull over the thing about context…

Melancholic

Aspiring

Abandoned

‘Abandoned’ was the photo I was most satisfied with from the first try. I tried to take photos invoking stronger emotions in the viewers but I was limited by the props I have on hand and the time factor to get them. I still chose ‘aspiring’ in the end because as I asked around my friends for opinions, at least they had some emotions for this photo than for the previous photos ‘gloomy’ and ‘calm’ and ‘reflective’. Took a new photo ‘melancholic’...just hope that it is not too similar to ‘abandoned’..
