Portraiture Straight Images

I took this picture from a front angle. I like how she is looking straight into the camera and she is the centre of the picture. I think this makes her look quite powerful and there is a connotation of strength as when looking at this picture it seems like she is looking straight into the person looking at the picture.

The denotation of this picture is that she is standing on the top of the staircase against a brick wall. The camera angle I took this from was from quite low down compared to her as she is quite high up. She is looking into the distance, passed the camera lens. I like how this angle makes her look quite elevated. In addition I think this has a connotation of authority and power as she also has quite a serious expression which supports this.

This pictures denotation is that she is sitting in the middle of a school canteen at a table which chairs and a bottle of drink in the background, she is also eating a lolly sweet. This picture was inspired by Alec Soth as his pictures contain important backgrounds that contexualise the picture and it all fits together well. Therefore I quite like how she fits in with her background. I also like the narrow depth of field as this put a lot of emphasis on her being the focus point. This was taken from a slightly side angle and it is at the same height that she is at.

This picture has a simple denotation of her standing against a brick wall with quite a dead pan expression. I think this has quite connotation of seriousness and it seems like there is some pain and deep thoughts behind this picture. I think this is a result of her expression but also that she is just standing still with her hands naturally by her side. 

This picture has a denotation of her sitting on a wooden bench in the middle of some grass and she is laughing. I liked this picture because it shows a natural expression, and because it's her laughing and looking happy I think it creates quite a positive denotation. To support this connotation, when editing this picture, I increased the saturation and the brightness to add to this positive connotation. I quite like the effect of the bright green grass as I think it looks quite vibrant.
