concept

Concept in how photography is portrayed. Being a hidden message or a clear story is what makes the imagery a success, especially photos that are eye catching/interesting rather than typical family shots. This principle of a message within the photography would be trying to decode the message within the image, whether it is extremely simple or full of imagery which is what makes the photo interesting to the audience. This would be for the imagery to come across to people what the message it is trying to say within the photo of the person, place, thing, etc.

Here is my photo of a barred green door. This scene illustrates a mysterious closed door locked away from the world with hidden secrets. The image portrays to the audience a message of a strange coloured door, making it eye catching to the public but why is it still a mystery? What does it hold in side? Who has been there? What history does it posses? So many messages in this photo which generates suspense and questioning its purpose of being not just a door, but a door with a story, rather than just letting people, why is that door so different to any other door? That's why this imagery has a great meaning to it, making the audience interested. With this principle in photography used makes the audience question about the imagery, letting their imagination go wild with so many thoughts, a bit like a detective decoding the scene of the crime. This style of photography produces a interest and making the photo more than just a image, but a creative story.

This is whats great about creating a message within the photo, to generate suspense. Here the image of a worn out house, dull, empty, dead. What secrets does it hold? why is it abandoned? That's what helps generates a mystery to every photo and whether it is making the audience give sympathy or portraying humour all photos have a meaning to, a purpose to be noticed by the photographer. So eye catching to them they want the audience to see what they saw, experienced, came across when walking.

Messages in photography is when the photographer places either text in the image or edits the photo to allow words to be seen in a abstract way. This is either to make the photo more easier to understand or just to to make the photo unique to the audience. It helps bring the photo to be read from the photographers personal view, notes or what the person, thing in the photo is saying, thinking, etc. This photography would help the audience have a better understanding, whether it is for a humorous purpose,abstract, scary, etc. Its whether the photography feels it needs some kind of message in the photo to help classify what is happening.

This message is obviously written on the photo, with personal hand written text. In this image the characters in the photo have expressed themselves towards each other. At the bottom of the page is the woman's writing, you can tell its her hand writing by how soft, delicate it is with the joint words. However the writing at the top is all scruffy, messy and is obviously the mans hand writing. Both talking about each other in this photography and what they felt. This is whats is great about having a personal message from the characters in the photo. Giving a insight in the meaning of the photo. With this simple effect gives the audience a clear message of the meaning of the photo and its purpose.

This example illustrates a little boy who's face expression portrays sad, lonely, with the boy looking directly at the audience, as if the message is directly to you. The message the photographer has used is over his head, text around. The message is hand written which gives that personal touch ' I didn't believe it- me, in Europe? No, its not me!. Illustrating how his birth place was so terrible his wish was to live in safety. This is demonstrated by the text, with that his wish is to live in peace and free from danger. This image is striking towards the audience, grasping their attention.
