My selfie describe me as an athlete person that likes to play soccer. I took this picture during the winter, which shows how much I love soccer even though its cold I still play soccer. I am wearing soccer cleats. I chose black and white because I want to show that your shoes doesn’t have to be raw or expensive to be good on soccer. A lot of people all around the world love soccer and their dream is to be a soccer player but they can’t afford buying cleats.

In this photo, the girl is representing the theme of insanity. We see a girl, whose crouched down into a ball form and clutching the sides of her head. She's seems to be going through the trouble of having far too many thoughts. The girl seems to be going insane because whatever is going through her head won't stop. It's as if she's listening to something that she doesn't want to hear and there's no way to prevent it. It's coming to the point where it's driving her mad, almost hopeless that it'll never go away. The photo almost looks like she was sitting in the hallway or in her room of an asylum. This photo is in color, the tint was decreased and the color temperature was increased to give it a greenish look. Things like the brightness, were pushed down and the contrast had been turned up.

Class of Loneliness by Adam

In the photograph, "Class of Loneliness" there is a lonely person in a classroom deserted by every student and staff within the school. She does not show her face because she is thinking and as she thinks she gets deeper into her own mind and her own world. The model is wearing blue to indicate her depression, and the white walls and tables let you know that she is slowly becoming insane. The meaning of this photograph is Isolation, and she is obviously alone in this picture.

Annexation by Rasheed

In the photograph "Annexation", you see the words spelled out "I am Israeli". But you see the word Israeli crossed out and instead you see the word Palestinian. The word Israeli is crossed out because you see the nationalism and pride in the Palestinian who refuses to assimilate into Israeli culture despite annexation. Even though Palestine is getting taken over/annexed by Israelis you still see the pride and courage of Palestinians. It seems today that everything is made in china except the courage that's MADE IN PALESTINE...

Bullying Comes in All Forms by James

In the photograph, "Bullying comes in all forms" it represents not only bullying, but domestic violence possibly, as well. The females face is covered to show how frightened and weak the man makes her appear. The man also sees the girl as a target because he cant pick on someone his own size. All jokes aside, Bullying and domestic violence are a huge portion of suicide and depression throughout the country. The mans colors he is wearing represent darkness and malice. The females white clothing can represent her possibility of becoming insane. Her innocence could be taken away and she just might fight back.

In the photograph "Feminine Nature", there is a head shot of a woman. Her facial expression is soft and gentle, it is not intense or energetic. Her face is covered in black paint. It is a simple black and white photograph. The meaning of this image is the portrayal of the gentile nature of femininity. Women are soft, yet there is an outer core to females that is strong and tenacious, which is why I chose to cover my model in paint. It is meant to look like mud or something that football players wear on their faces. These represent the strong side to femininity, while the model's expression represents the softer side of feminine nature.
