  2. I think the photo with leaves the photographer could have used real or fake leaves in this photo and nature was used in the first photos, and for the other ones I think the photographers need to get in some certain height or position to take the photos that are really high up. The mood that I get from these photos is suspense and spectacular. I think the professional photographers know how to make the photos intense and awesome.

  3. I think the photographer created these photos by shooting them, then adding a pastel-like filter to them in Photoshop.

    The mood I get from these photos is coldness. Like, standing in a field on a cold, foggy morning. Either that, or a summer day.

    The filter added to these photos helps with the mood as it makes them fit a lot better than they would without filters. Without filters, these photos would just look like any other ordinary photo.

    I think the pictures were taken normally with the actual nature and some was maybe a little edited in Photoshop.

    What sorts of moods are created in these images?
    Sadness to me, because she is by herself, expressions don’t look to happy.

    How does the look of the photo (slightly de-saturated, a hazy effect) affect the mood of these photos?
    They change the photo because it doesn’t look over edited, they are not bright and dont give a happy feeling, they are dull, the colors are lowered and it makes it seem a bit more sad.

  13. The photographer created these photos by using unique props and interesting backgrounds as well as some cool editing. These images are kind of mysterious and give off a sense of loneliness. The de-saturated, hazy look of the photos are what creates those moods.

  14. with these photos i think many were made coming from the camera but also had alot of post production to add the difficult stuff like the butterflies or the rock under the girl who’s holding a balloon. the moods in these images all seem somber to me but the message of the imagery im probably missing, i mean im sure the umbrella is on fire for a reason but i don’t know what that is. while some of them im confused with the emotional tone like the lady with the dress and the fire others i do get a feeling of serenity like the girl melting into the leaves and the haze makes them look more like a painting or drawing.
