Desire: For desire, we chose to photograph a slice of cake, something that most people would want to have. The camera is at a high angle and is intended to be a point of view shot, as if someone is staring at the cake.
Friendship: For friendship, we have a wide shot showing three people who are presumably close. We showed this through the body language, they are all sitting close together and smiling. The wide angle allows you to see the background which is happy and inviting due to the natural lighting of it.
Greed: For greed, we have a photograph of someone taking food from the cafeteria. The greed is shown through the way the subject is taking a large amount of food and is the only person queuing. The long shot was used so that you can easily see the tables in the background and know where the picture was taken.
Loneliness: For this photograph, we just had the one subject by themselves. The fact that they are behind bars is to show that they feel isolated, as if they were trapped. The camera angle itself, a long shot, shows that they aren't included in anything, even the scene itself. The lighting on this picture was slightly more shadowed to show the darkness of the mood.
Love: For this image, we had two subjects with their backs to the camera holding hands. The fact that they are not looking was to show that they aren't aware of anything else around them, it is simply the two of them.We took the photograph outside so that the lighting would be very natural, implying that this love was quite a normal relationship.
Poverty: For the image of poverty, we have the subject sitting on the floor with their palms to the sky. We used a high angle shot to make it seem like she is looked down upon. The only item shown in the picture is a rubbish bin, which shows the subject's situation.
Purity: For Purity, we used water as the colour of the packaging and the product itself are typically used to symbolise something pure. The image was taken in a naturally lit area with grass surrounding it, to show that everything about the image is 'pure'; The lighting has not been tampered with and the background is not set up.
Strength: For strength, we had an image of someone lifting weights. The camera was tilted at a low angle, making the subject seem larger and more powerful. The face of the person is not in shot, so that the main focus is on the arm lifting the weight.
Weakness: For weakness we have an image of someone with water on them, used to symbolise tears. The image was a close up, to clearly show the fear on the person's face. The image shows only half the person's face, a way to show that their may be another side to why they're crying.
Wealth: For wealth, we took a photograph of a wallet with a large sum of money in it, an obvious way to show the wealth of somebody. The background is natural, which could show a type of irony as the material possessions (the money) are placed above the environment (the grass), a possible way of showing that the person has placed their wealth above everything else.
