- Describe some common aesthetic aspects of yearbook photos and/or senior pictures.
A. Usually news-related photographs are black and white. Since they are in black and white and not in color they have to be more exaggerated and show more emotion. I feel as is news-related photographs are much stronger when they are in black and white. The expression of most of the people in the images have a certain look that make it able to know exactly what is going on. It’s not that the people knew what was going on, the photographer was just able to capture a great shot.
B. I feel like snapshots usually show something about the photographer. When taking a snapshot it shows personality. The photographer could be at a social gathering with all of their friends or a private event. They are taking pictures of another event going on. When-ever I think of a snapshot I think of fun and liveliness.
C. Advertisement images are always very sharp. In fashion or product imaging, they background always tell a story about the product making the product seem more appealing. Whenever I think of an advertisement I think professional, very crisp, and engaging. I want the photographer to photograph something or someplace that even if the product isn’t for me, I’d want it.
D. When looking t a movie still, the image could be anything. Usually if it is a specific movie still that is being put on a poster, it will be of something that draws the viewer in. The producers of the film want to show something that other people are going to want know more about. Movie stills can be confusing, exciting, or modelesque. If there’s a big actor/actress, usually a film still will be about them.
E. Yearbook and senior pictures are very posed. Sometimes there can be natural posing, but usually they are straight on or head turned slightly. My friends and I always joke about the signature senior pose, sitting down, one knee up, and elbow on the knee. That stereotype will always be around. Most senior pictures are hazy, meaning they put an effect of glowing on the person. Sometimes it looks okay, but other times it just looks blurry.
