Objectively, in the image below, there is clearly a lot of people that look the same, cheerleaders. Subjectively, this could promote the act of not being judgmental because someone looks like they are happy on the outside, but when you look deeper there is a whole lot more. Bringing to the forefront, the well-known quotes 'don't judge a book by its cover' and 'you know my name, not my story'. This could set the mood of guiltiness because everyone does it and knows it is wrong… it's human nature. In my opinion, there is a high contrast of colours which, when cramped together, causes the Abstract nature of the image. And, due to the composition and scene ratio of the image, the focus is centred around the pink and white of the cheerleader's outfits.

Bill Brandt
Bill Brandt was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1904. In 1933, he moved to London and was well known for capturing British society for magazines, such as 'Lilliput' and 'Picture Post'. Later on, also his distorted nudes portraits of famous artists and landscapes.

Objectively, in the image below, there are two hands, maybe a man's and a woman's, with their fingers entwined. Subjectively, this could portray the strength of their relationship and fit together as perfectly as the fingers. This could set the mood of confidence because the hands are evidently interlocked perfectly and this in itself is an amazing motive. This could In my opinion, there is a medium contrast of colours. And, due to the composition and depth-of-field, the focus is centred around the interlocked fingers of the man and woman.

Tony Howell
Tony Howell was born in Plymouth, England in 1960. He took up photography because, in his early years, his friend showed him a photography magazine and he thought 'I could have taken that'. So he bought a camera and got hooked seeing the world with a new eye.

Objectively, in the image below, the are different sized bubbles, most likely in a drink, forced together into a concentrated space. Subjectively, this could portray the idea that some aspects of life are far more substantial and important than others. In my opinion, there is a high contrast of colours. And due to the composition and the area that the image has been cropped to, the focus is centred around the size difference of the bubbles.

My Attempts

Abstract Photography
In photoshopping this, I just simply rotated the image and lowered the saturation so the colours don't appear as bright.
