School Photography Shots

School Photography

The photograph to the left shows an exterior shot of part of a school, representing it in a positive way. The photo denotates a bright, colourful picture of a pathway, trees and a sector of the schools building. The image connotates a clean, respected area which is appreciated by passers by and students within the school.The photo could also represent a middle to upper class culture in society because the school looks well presented

in comparison to other negatively represented schools.

This is an image of chewing gum stuck to the bottom of a canteen table within a school, when this is decoded it could connotate lack of hygiene within the school and disrespect from the students. Therefore the photograph represents the school in a negative way.

This photograph is a close up of the symbol, the Christian cross. This code is originally recognised from the Christianity religion, the Bible and the Church, it is an iconic sign around all different cultures. However it could also be interpreted in a different way, recently the symbol can be seen as a fashion statement on clothes or as jewellery. Different cultures can relate the symbol to different meanings

The image on the left relates to the previous photograph because it anchors the meaning of the cross. The photo clearly shows a school student, Molly, holding the holy Bible which links to the cross symbol. The large Bible could be presented as negotiated reading because the Christian religion does not agree with other religions and it's beliefs within can be argued with different conspiracy theories. Molly is also using the direct mode of address to connect with the audience, looking into the camera is a method which can attract a viewers attention. 

This picture is a mid shot which interprets boredom. The setting can be represented as a library which is commonly seen as a very quiet, gloomy area. The body language of these two school students includes closed eyes and heads rested onto the palms of their hands, a classic expression that they are both bored and exhausted.

Contrasting with the previous photo, this image shows a brighter, cheerful mid shot. A connotation of two happy students working hard on their studies with a good attitude. You can recognise this from the smiley facial expression on the closest student and both their body language presents a writing motion with their hands to show they're working and their heads are looking down, proving that they are focused on the school work they have to get done.
