Emotion Pictures

This emotion would be sadness, if there is really any emotion portrayed by this picture...

Although this picture isn't a great example of any emotion either, I thought it might work for suspicion, but in a cute, I-am-not-really-scared-of-you-but-I-am-wondering-why-you-are-holding-a-camera-to-my-face way. By Rachel Kyes

Emotion

At the last meeting we did an assignment where each group found pictures in a National Geographic that represented each of five emotions we choose: aggression, heartbreak, joy, pride, and grief. We discussed how emotion plays a large part in photography, whether intended or not. Often times photos may represent ambiguous emotions, as in a photo may look like sadness but may actually be tears of joy.
So as you know, 
emotion is a complex psychophysiological experience of an individual's state of mind as interacting with biochemical (internal) and environmental (external) influences. Since actual emotion is a complex phenomenon, I picked a few favorites as examples. 


Enjoy!

and that ambiguity we mentioned....

Pride

This is my handsome boyfriend Garrett, who was having a bad picture day that day but I nonetheless managed to get a decent picture of him.

And this is beautiful best friend Hannah. I don't know if the background is too busy or not but I just absolutely love this picture.
