Very Important Photos
1. Sports/Action
Robert Deutsch Feburary 8, 2022 I love photos like these because they show that ice skating can be really dangerous and risky. Specifically in this photo, it’s showing how the skater is leaning completely on one side and I think it’s insane how skaters can do these things that don’t even seem possible. Ice skating has a lot to do with performing risky tasks and these pictures really show that. |
2. Landscape
Joshua Snow (No date was posted) It was hard to decide which photo was the "best" landscape but I really like this one because of the colors and the mountains in the background. The purple-ish blue colors give it a gloomy, lonely look and the mountains make it almost baren in the distance. |
3. Current Events/News
Brandon Bell December 12, 2021 This was taken after a tornado occurred in a town in Arkansas, personally, I like how the destroyed piano was used as the focus and in the background, you can see what the tornado caused. This is another photo that helps show the person viewing what the aftereffects of a disaster looks like and to me, it's better than reading what happened because I can see instead. |
4. Politics
Emmanuel Dunand February 21, 2019 I like photos like these because instead of using words, they spread awareness by visuals and words. It highlights the saying of the protest this picture is from and blurs out the background to point out what the people are saying. This helps the viewers understand the importance of the photo. I also like that the photographer focused on the hands, I think it brings complexity to the picture by bringing attention to one person out of the entire group. |
6. Day-in-the-life/Personal
Ayaina Guzman June 20, 2020 I thought it would be a good idea to choose something less formal for this picture because this one is personal to me and I feel like it depicts a day-in-the-life of me and my friends. This picture also has really good memories behind it, it was one of the first times my friends and I could hang out together during covid. This picture means a lot to me and I think that everyone should have at least a few silly photos. |
7. Travel
Nejdet Duzen (No date was posted) This is one of my favorite travel photos because of personal reasons, in the future I wish to travel to somewhere similar. However, I also love this photo because the bright colors combine with the white buildings. It's a nice contrast and makes the picture seem happy. |
8. Fashion/Product/Brand Marketing
CostureroReal (No date was posted) This image is for a hat that is selling on Etsy, I like this picture because they took the theme of the product and created an environment that went together with it. The product and the background go together really well and it glorifies the product in almost a fictional way because the photo looks like it would come from a story or book. |
9. Wildlife or Domestic Animal Photos
Guiri R. Reyes December 19, 2012 I like this photo because of the focus, it blurs out the background and zones in on the lizard's head which directs your eyes to it. I also really like how the picture captures the detail in the lizard's eyes. It makes the photo "pop". The lizard is also where most of the light is shown on as the background is really dark and shadow-y which I like. |
10. Portrait
Ayaina Guzman April 25, 2021 This is a photo of one of my friends that we took when we were hanging out at Lawrence Park together. I chose this to be my favorite because I can look at it and remember enjoying that day but I also really like my friend’s pose and the background of this photo. Her pose looks natural and her outfit contrasts with the gray background of the leafless trees and branches. It brings focus to her and makes her stand out, the jeans definitely bring the most attention. |
