Denotations: A woman looking down towards the floor.
Connotations: To me, this woman looks like the is wearing a mask. However, the said mask in tis moment in time is cracking. She looks physically dolled up, however, her facial expressions show vulnerability. She looks lost in thought. As if she is n a predicament she can't quite escape.
I selected this photo as I like the way she is looking away from the camera and to me represents vulnerability. This could help me with my exam in taking photos for Isolation or Dismal.
Helmut Newton

Denotations: Awoman with her eye closed, wiping condensation from a glass screen.
Connotations: This woman looks as if the wiping of the condensation is wiping anything negative away. Her facial expressions portray relief. As if she has been room bound and is finally gaining fresh air.
The reason I selected this photo was because It represented Hope to me, it was new and refreshing. It gave me inspiration to do a shoot based on hope.
Sally Mann

Denotations: A little girl jumping in the air.
Connotations: Innocence. Is the only thing that comes to mind when I look at this photo. I see a little girl jumping in the air, playing like you and I used to. It shows childhood innocence, there is no negativity in this photo. She is up in the air, feeling light ad free.
I chose this photograph because I am fascinated by the way the child is so carefree, I liked the idea of having jusr pure happiness in which this photo can help me with a shoot called laughter.
Lucien Clergue

Denotations: A womans figure covered n light reflected patterns.
Connotations: In some ways, this photo feels like manipulation. From the physical manipulation, I get the aura of a woman hiding in her own shadows. Hiding from view, yet she is still being manipulated. Someone is doing what they want to her body. Making it their own.
I chose to put thi sphoto in my research because It really sppeaks to me. I admire Lucien Clergues work, but I lso really love the way that this photo can have so many different meanings. I would hope to be able to use this photo as inspiration for a shoot of mine, possibly Dismal or Isolation. However, because of the nudity it may not be possible.
Susan Porter-Thomas

Denotations: Three kids walking in a forest with their backs to the camera.
Connotations: To me this photo is purely innocence. I see three kids walking towards their fantasy and away form reality.
Thiis photo was an easy choice of mine. I like the way the kids aren't noticing whats behind them, only moving forward. I would like to use this as inspiration for Hope.
Billy Kid

Denotations: Woman with her mouth open, eyes screwed up and fingers cupping the sides of her face.
Connotations: I see quite vividly a woman crying r screaming for help. Desperate for something that is unknown, help for absolutely anything. She looks just desperate.
I am gong to use this photo to help me with my shoot for Tense. I chose it because I really like the way you can see so many different emotions, yet they all link to one thing.
