Communication Pictures


The above image is an example of how a photo can display a memory. This group is clearly taking a photo to remember their group in the future.





This photo "A Wounded Solider is Taken Prisoner by German Soldiers in WWI" by an Unknown Photographer 1914-1918. This photo is taken to maybe remember the event, but also tells the story of the solider who is taken captive and the German Soldiers. The expression on their faces shows how serious they feel, and the wounded soldier looks beaten and tired. This photo makes you wonder what is to come and communicates to me the pain and brutality of war.




This photo "Approach to Fear: Voyeurism" from 1976. It is a feminist portrayal of fear. This could express fear of rape or oppression. However, someone else could look at this photo and think she is just hiding from someone or maybe from herself. This photo is simple but is communicating to me the struggles she goes through as a woman.
