My Mood Photo

I feel like this photo I took of my mom represents shame through the color because of the green and the dark tone of the photo. Green is often used in photos to show stress, envy or shame. Brighter greens could be used for happiness. The darkness of this photo and the fact that she's burying her face in her hands shows that it's not a happy photo. You can see that her hair is greying, which is a sign of aging and stress. When I took this photo my mom wasn't in a very good mood, which made it easier to portray this emotion in the photo.

This is a photo I found that I feel like represents sadness because of the crying man and the blue theme. The amount of blue that is used in this photo represents the sadness that is surrounding this man. Rain is also a common thing that is used to convey sadness in photography. When I look at this photo I feel like he was probably having a bad day because the rain soaked his shirt. Maybe his umbrella doesn't work well? We don't know. The man is standing high up above the city, which means he could be on top of a building or on a balcony, trying to be alone and get some space. If the photo didn't have a blue hue to it, I feel like it would come across less sad. Cool colors are usually used to express sad or upset emotions, so I think the use of the blue in this photo was really smart.
