Critiquing Photographs
Descriptive: This photo was taken by Alasdair McLellan for the Marc Jacobs perfume campaign. This photo shows the product that the designer is selling to his customers. The photograph shows the perfume bottle making it the subject and showing exactly what the consumers are buying.
Explanatory: This photo was taken by Laurent Cipriani. This photo was taken after the Nice, France terroist attack in 2016. This photo shows the grief that the people are feeling due to the traumatic experience that they just witnessed. The artwork on the ground is honoring anyone that lost their lives that day in Nice.
Interpretative: This is a photo I took. Due to the pandemic, people have had to wear mask to protect others. The girl in the background is in a grocery story and she is standing behind food. This can be interpreted in two was: 1 being that she can afford food and 2 her only being able to be around it but cannot buy it. This shows the economic struggles that people are going threw during this hard time.
Aesthetically Evaluative: This is a photo I took. It shows the landscape of the area. It also show reference of what people used in previous times. There is a watermill that people used. It shows the contemporary landscape now but references to the past.
Ethically Evaluative: This is a photo I took. This photo shows a man working in a store. It also shows signs and representations of Covid-19 guidelines. During this pandemic many people are working to afford a living. This is also taken in a small business and many small businesses closed during the pandemic. This shows issues in the economy system.
Theoretical: This picture was taken by Jessica Ledwich. This pictures shows the body parts that women want fixed to look more beautiful. As this can be seen as an ethically evaluative photo but in my eyes it is seen as theoretical. Beauty is different in every country. People create a theory of what is beautiful and portray it to other but it constantly changes.
