In the photograph there is a long hallway with a set of stairs on the right hand side, an open door at the very end of the hall. The narrow space makes me feel claustrophobic and eager to get out of the enclosed space. The monochromatic colors give a dull feel to the over all mood of the picture. The elements present in this image are framing, shadows, and backlight.
This picture shows Marilyn Monroe relaxing on an armchair in a living room with her shoes off. The big smile on Marilyn's face makes me feel joy and laughing along with her bubbly mood. Her body posture makes me think about relaxing on a Friday night after schools/work just like she is in the photograph. The elements used in the picture are shallow depth of field, rule of thirds, and shadows.
There are three main buildings, trash on the sidewalk, and a street sign in the image. Since there is no one on the street it makes me feel lonely and vulnerable. The lonely street reminds me of ghost towns where no one lives there and everything is abandoned. Expansive depth of field, shadow, and asymmetry are elements seen in the composition of the image.
The image contains only the hand of a grown person: most likely the mother, and the hand of an infant wearing a bracelet given by hospitals to identify new borns. This picture makes me feel tender because the little fingers are wrapped tightly around the index finger of its mother. Peace and warmth are projected by the image because a new baby is a beautiful thing/experience. The image is overall simplicity, asymmetrical balance, and shadow elements.
There is a woman hugging a man while they both are sitting on a two people bed in a small room. The expression on the mans face makes me feel cheerful and the way the woman is holding the man makes me feel loved and warm inside. Simplicity, shadow, and balance are used throughout the image of the couple sitting on the bed.
The image shows Marilyn Monroe wearing a white shirts with cherries on it as she is leaning on a wooden beam looking away from the camera. Her gaze makes me think of she is deep in a memorable thought. Her face makes me feel as though she misses someone very deeply. Her body language makes me feel like day dreaming since she is leaning on the beam rather than standing up right. Since the center of focus is just Marilyn, the image used are simplicity, framing, and shallow depth of field to emphasis the focus towards her.
There is a man standing before a table with books and a mirror. At the side of the room there is a window with the curtains being blown by the wind. This image makes me feel perplexed because it is not the full outline of the man. The next and part of the head that are missing make me feel uneasy because it looks like there is a sickly thin/deformed man in the image. The bright window remind me of a chilly autumn breeze blowing through the house. The elements used in the picture are reflection, silhouette, and backlight.
In the photograph there is a woman laying down on a bench with a dog beneath her laying down. She appears to be cuddling with the dog while they lay near a window. The image makes me feel joy because the woman is laughing and cuddling up next to the dog. The dog makes me feel comfort because it looks happy to have its owner that close. The woman obviously feels affection towards the dog in the image. Backlight, lines, and balance are used in the photograph.
The photograph contains a young girl holding a mirror close to her face. She is standing close to the window of a room. I feel fascinated by the image because of the mirrors double reflection of the girl. Since there is very faint lighting the image makes me feel as though it is a gloomy/cloudy day. The reflection intrigues me to know what type of mirror is being used. Reflection, simplicity, and shadows are three elements being used in the photograph.
