Locations and Emotions- Mexico

Any photo of a location can bring an emotion within it. For example a calm seaside scene can be a romantic emotion whereas a dark, eerie woodland can be spookey and scarey. A location can be sentimental to somebody as it may be a specific location they visited when they were younger which brings back childhood memories or a a location can be emotional for somebody.The picture above is an image i took on a holiday in Mexico, i captured many images from this holiday as it had many memories, the calm sunny scenery with the canoes and sunbed on the white sand shows a tranquil emotion. i remember myself having a happy emotion that i was in a sunny place and with my family. Here are some more images from Mexico:

As you can see from the images above the place i visited in Mexico,Puerto Aventuras, was a perfect setting to include some photographs in this project. The clear water and the swaying palm tree's captures the relaxing and happy emotion in these images. Looking back on the pictures reminds me of the undisturbed atomasphere it was in Mexico. Including the calm day time scenery one of my favourite memories from this holiday was the nightlife and entertainment of the Mexican Culture.

Here above are two images from a dance show i saw with my family in Mexico, it included all different aspects of the Mexican culture. I like the way i have captured the movements of the dancers and the ruffles of the feathers in their costumes. These images are fun and exciting and shows the sense of atomasphere that the audience captured in the show. i really like this picture because i can look at the pictures and think of the emotions i had when watching the show.

Anger-

Anger is defined as -a strong emotion; a feeling that is oriented toward some real or supposed grievance.

Gestapo Informer (1945)

In a camp of displaced persons waiting for repatriation, a Gestapo informer who had pretended to be a refugee is discovered and exposed by a camp inmate. The faces are the most striking part of this photo. On them are the judge’s aplomb, the denouncer’s rage, the Gestapo informer’s resignation, and faces of apathy and anger that frame the picture. The picture draws the audience into that anguished circle of the wronged. Had Cartier-Bresson been a painter, these would have been the allegories of Rage and Shame standing before Justice with a Greek chorus in the background. And we are that Greek Chorus. The intimate circle ensured that we share not only Agony, but also Shame and Responsibilities in the Aftermath of a War.
