This picture is of a picture of a man holding a globe in his hand. He is looking very professional with a suit on. This is trying to say, the world is on your hands. And the future is what you make it. To achieve this photo, they might have used focus to blur the background out and put the main subject (the yellow billboard) in focus. This will catch the audience’s eye because the size of the billboard is huge so therefore it would stand out. Also the fact that the majority of the billboard is yellow, that will also catch the people walking attention, as it is a very bright colour. Also the writing on the billboard is also gigantic, and in bold white writing so it catches the viewers focus too. These images promote a service. These images are seen on the street on billboards, or even newspapers.

This picture is selling a cultural lifestyle. It is the Asian way of dressing. To capture this photo, you’d have to expand the white balance, and also focus the main subject in, so the viewers know it’s the dress, worn by the lady is the main subject. You see these images in fashion magazines, magazines that try selling a different culture or even a cultural way of dressing. You would also see these images in a catalogue, catalogues that work for fashion companies that sell cultural clothes.

To capture this photo, the photographer would have had to change the brightness on this photo to a much darker setting. This captures the misty side of this photo, which is shown around the edges of this photo. The dark depth of field is interesting because it tells you that the photo was taken at sunset. The depth of field shows us the amount of time there is between sunset and the actual morning. The sand around the photo is still visible, although there is darkness around it. Just like surroundings in reality during sunset, although there is darkness everything is still visible. These kinds of images, you would see in holiday brochures or leaflets that advertise holidays for glamorous places.

This photo was taken in high contrast black and white, in typical documentary. The photographer would have had to change the focus a little bit, so that the main focus is on the card held by the lady. Also, if you look carefully, the people behind the lady have also got cards and words are written on them. The meaning behind this is that we should always treat others the way we want to be treated. Also we should never treat others differently just because of their situation, whether that be financial, ethnicity or age because at the end of the day, we all have 3 meals a day and sleep in one bed. The photographer of this photo isn’t named. You would see this images in a documentary, documentaries about life issues or events. These are not photos you see everyday, so it makes you wonder what the hidden message is behind this.
