1. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of “news”-related photographs.

 Always in the behind the scene news is the War with Iraq. I always find it interesting to view the photos that photographs capture while in battle. For one, the men are fighting for their lives, and for two it is amazing to know that out there, there is a photographer that can jump in the middle of the action. 
 

2. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of “snapshots”. 

I find so much beauty in snapshots because they are capturing the moment right then. Often I find myself see the perfect photo opportunity, and missing it because my camera is not at the ready, or it is not set up to capture an action that quickly. 
 

3. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of advertisement photographs. Fashion photography? Product photography?

I find advertisement photograph aesthetic, because it is convincing the consumer to buy the product.  I find fashion photography to be one of my favorites because it is also a form of advertisement. It is showing off the designers work in a way that the consumer does not realize they are trying to get them to buy their brand. Fashion photography also does a great job of showing image branding. Lastly, product photography, I also view this as a form of advertisement, if one can make the product look aesthetically pleasing, anyone will buy it. I find it interesting how one photo makes a whole brand image. 

4. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of film or movie stills.

It is amazing to me how much work goes into creating a film. I find it beautiful because it is a series of photographs, one right after they other, trying to narrate itself.  

E. Describe some common aesthetic aspects of yearbook photos and/or senior pictures.


Yearbook photos and senior pictures have many common aesthetic. A yearbook is something one can look back on to reflect their years of high school. To this day, I love going back and looking at freshmen year and comparing it to senior yea. It is aesthetically pleasing to seeing how beautiful people have become, growing into themselves, and maturing throughout the years.
