FEAR

For this assignment the students were assigned the word "Fear" as a titles for their photograph. They were put into groups and given 15 minutes to brainstorm locations and ideas for a photograph that represents fear. Each person in the group was responsible for a location and photograph. They then had 15 minutes to take the photographs that were then edited in Adobe Photoshop. Here are some of the results:

  6. All of the photos are great. It's cool how they emphasized what they want you to notice in the photo, especially in the third picture down.

  10. the second photo is very interesting the girls seem to be looking for somthing. it tells a story. i feel that he next thing that would happen is that the girls would discover some tragety. the inscribed vines make it seem as if time was suddenly paused.

  11. I like the second picture from the bottom. The lighting is awesome. It really emphasizes the curtain that the girl is coming out of and gives the picture a creepy feel. I also like that they edited to be black and white because it makes it that much scarier

  12. i like the first picture because the lighting focuses your eye directly to the hand in the back even though it is all in shadow

  13. i like the second picture from the bottom because of the shading on the stairs. I also like how the background is all black and the focal point is the person standing behind the curtain.

  16. i like the 2nd picture because it illustrates fear, it makes you curious toward what they are looking at but scared at the same time. the darkness around the center with the girls draws your attention toward them.

  17. The third photo up shows a good depth of field with a long depth all in focus. The aperture is appropriete that it creates an air of mystery in the photo showing fear.

  19. I like the first picture. The way the shadows and lights are really enhances what the photographer wanted you to see. Plus, it's really creepy with the way it was edited, really cool

  21. I deffiently love the 1st picture. i think it was the best out of all of them becuase it gave more of the fear/ creepy affect. The way the different dark colors come out chalky, then you just have a hand coming out from behind the counter. it kindof makes you not want to go in a dark room with counters because you got no idea what is behind it.

  22. The third photo is my favorite for the assignment, it captures the exact emotion for fear. The highlights are very bright and vivid, however the colors being more unsaturated and the expression of the person against the fence really pull it through as a fear type tone.

  23. All the photos show motion. Which showed me how they felt when they took the pictures. And i like how their is shodows in some of the pictures.

  24. I like the first picture. Its dark and creepy...To me it shows fear, the hand is just there.. the hand to me is asking for help or showing a sign of help...

  28. My favorite picture is the stairs leading up to the curtian. The tone of the picture is great, it gives it a creepy stalker sort of look.

  31. I like the second and third photo the best but all of them are very good. they show fear very well and the photoshop done to most photos very really good and look liek it took alot of effort to reach the point that they got.

  32. I like the first photo of the hand reaching out. The reddish tint of the whole photo gives it and eerie feel. The contrast of the hand and the darkness around it shows the desolation of the victim and the fear portrayed by the artist.

  34. The first picture with the hand is by far my favorite. The lighting is very creepy, and the hand is posed in a disturbing way. I love how my eye is drawn into the picture towards the focal point where the hand is.

    It is a fantastic picture.

  35. The first photo of the hand in the dark room really scares me, which really goes with the theme "fear". Also the way they edited it on photo shop makes it 10 times better.

    I really like the 3rd one, i think its Rachael. The lighting really really accents the mood in the picture, You can hardly tell it was High School students with unofficial equipment. I also think the selective coloring in the first picture is interesting.
