Image Bank - Evidence

These photographs in my opinion are all evidence of happiness. Happiness has been portrayed in a variety way through these three images. It's been conveyed through a literal meaning of the word being written on a piece of paper and held in someone's hand to portray how they are in ownership of their happiness. It's also been portrayed in a different sense, this being a bunch of flowers filled with fun colours. This is evidence of nature however could also represent happiness, because a bunch of flowers never fails to put a smile on someone's face. The simple portraits of the girls smiling is also an example of happiness because it is evident that they are both filled with joy through their facial expression of laughter. Happiness can therefore easily be exposed in a variety of photographical formats.

These photographs all contain elements that allow them to conform to the "evidence of winter" title. Winter can be portrayed through the actual weather itself, the mood of people along with their clothing etc. In these above pictures, the two portraits of the female in warm clothing represents how she is wrapped up ready to fight the bitter air outside. The clothes being blue is colour imagery that is a symbol for the frosty weather. This is inspiring as it means I can capture photographs of portraits of people dressed in appropriate clothing to suit a certain weather condition, therefore creating an 'evidence of winter' piece. The other three images are all environmental surroundings covered in a layer of snow or rain. The last two have been portrayed in a black and white effect to make it evident that cold weather brings a minimal amount of joy, hence the gloomy colours. The black and white effect also pairs perfectly with the rainy photograph at the bottom as this emphasises the glumness of the image.

Evidence of sweets and food is portrayed in these 5 photographs. I like this idea of evidence because it is fun and creative, where you actually have to arrange all of the food to look presentable and photogenic. I appreciate the fact that a good quality photograph can sometimes take a while to create. The fruit and vegetable image is filled with a variety of these organic products to convey the healthy option of life, perhaps representing evidence of health. The picture would look less creative if it was just a photograph of green vegetables, therefore the mash up of colours is successful. My favourite images are ones of the sweets because these are filled with colour which is my favouite formal element. They aren't just one packet of a branded sweet either, it's an assortment of sweets to give more depth to the photograph. The last picture is a creative example of portraying evidence of sweets, it being a lipstick for the model demonstrates how she has just eaten sweets and the evidence has physically been left on her lips. This is inspiring for a multiple imagery.

I like the way that the rings are all positioned here. It's easy for the viewer to read each word on the ring and it also represents how love needs to be surrounded by friendship and trust in order for it to be a success.

These six images all represent friendship in one form or the other. I like the idea of the first two being evidence of frinedship through humans and their animals because these are the most truest and heartwarming friendships that anyone could share. Both are completely different in composition but still convey the same evidence. The photographs of the two girls are the type of photographs that everyday best friends would like taken of them. They're both positive images filled with fun and happiness which is what I admire; friendship is a real positive connection to capture in an image. The last two photographs are evidence of jewelerry along with evidence of friendship. they are simple images with great composition as the subject of the picture is always evident. I love this friendship photography as I think it all says something when someone looks at it.

Black being the main colour in this image was clever because it focuses the viewers eyes on all of the dark sections; the dress, shades and hairstyle. The tiniest hint of colour in this picture would be her coral lips which concludes this image together perfectly.

These four photographs are all evidence of fashion. They represent this topic because in each one, the models all have their own statement; a fashion statement. This ranges from a messy plait, round sun glasses, a beanie and a baby beige blazer. Fashion is all about something that stands out or an outfit that pairs together in an attractive way. Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and also a large variety of colours, patterns and styles to choose from. Colour and Pattern are two of the formal elements which construct an appealing photograph, therefore these being discovered and portrayed in an item of clothing makes a photograph that much more attractive. Fashion in photography is also a big influence on people like me who want to construct photographs that look ellegant and simplistic through body posture and attire.

The message written in this throth demonstrates that it is the morning which could then make it a photograph portraying the evidence of the morning perhaps. The coffee beans surrounding the mug supports the contents of the mug as being a cappuccino because it has a throthy top layer, therefore making them a useful and successful prop.

These last five images are evidence of yummy beverages/tea. They can also be evidence of steam as it is clear that some of the contents in the mugs in these images is boiling water. With these style of images it is a great way to become creative. In these images they have all been tweaked to look photogenic. Some have been placed infront of an odd background or one that looks quite mystical, one has the steam forming into the shape of a ballet dancer which is quite interesting, one has a message in the throth of a cappuccino along with a set up all beneath it. The other two are just positioned so that the tea cup and spoon are positioned in an appropriate way together in order for them to look good in a picture. I would love to get creative with images like this because it would be interesting to create all of my own sets, however it woud all have to be done at home and this will be something I intend to accomplish in this project.
