Camera construction and Emphasis

This photo uses a medium camera shot showing both a male and female, the male is closer the the camera representing power and authority. The woman also has to look up to the man to create a conversation. The male is also slightly closer to the camera which also represents authority.


This photograph gives the assumption that the woman closer to the camera has more authority over the men in the background. She has a very stern, straight face which gives an aggressive masculine look in comparison to the men in the background who seem to be looking at her. The way she is also standing with her back to them portrays her as more powerful.

This photograph gives the idea that the male in the shot has more power over the female, even though the female has more camera space. You can only see half of the mans face whereas you can see the whole of the females facial expression that looks anxious and panicked. The lack of space between the two characters shows passion.


The photograph represents a higher level of male assumptions, as the female is wearing dark clothes, smoking and holding a gun which are predominantly more showcased in males. The female is also towering over the camera, with low lighting and a lack of colour, which shows more masculinity in comparison to a happy bright colourful shot.



This photograph has elements of both masculine and femininity, the male is holding a gun and is bleeding which represents the typical man. But the camera is angled higher and he seems to be on the floor which represents defeat.

This photograph constructs a more feminine opinion on the photo. It shows a woman in typical woman dressed in shorts and a vest. The lighting used is bright and the camera shot has her evenly placed in the center of the image. The lighting shows she is more feminine as it defines her body and skin.


This photograph displays that the photo is more masculine as the majority of people in the camera are male. Also the person closest to the camera is a man.
