"A picture is worth a thousand words." That is the motto of a photojournalist. I completely agree with this statement, because i understand things better when there is a visual image attached to it. Photos that tell stories are especially intriguing, because they speak for themselves. They could be memories of a trip, evidences to a crime, and many other meanings. I also like photos in the Ikea furniture catalogue. The pictures seem to be taken at the right angle, with a good balance of lighting, and positioning of the objects in the photo. Things that influence my perspective of a picture would be the color, positioning of all characters in the picture, and what the picture is trying to say. For example, this is a picture i found on the internet. I really liked the color, and the layout of the photo. My understanding of this picture, is that, together, we can make peace. From this photography course, i hope to learn more about techniques used in photography, and how i can use my digital camera to its full potential, and take my own pictures that tell stories.
