Categories of Photographs

Ethically Evaluative: Ethically evaluative photos are one that show ethical judgments. They praise certain aspects of society. I believe this best fits the category because the photographer was trying to elicit a loss of innocence through the cigarette.

Aesthetically Evaluative: These types of photographs serve the purpose of having an appealing effect. They show what is worth aesthetic observation. In my eyes this photo is aesthetically evaluative because it portrays the landscape in my hometown and has an eye-appealing effect at first glance.

Interpretive: Interpretive photography have personal or subjective interpretations. They initiate meanings through images. This photo is interpretive because it is describing the little girl's plea for help. She looks tired and unhealthy, this image captures the desperation for food.

Theoretical: This type of photography is used to critique the making of art. They raise questions about the particular photo and the underlying meaning. I think this photo is theoretical because the cast of the shadow shows of the girl but not the chair. It raises the theory of maybe the chair wasn't there to begin with.

Descriptive: Descriptive photography is used for the sole purpose of describing a situation or event. I used this image because it is directions on what to and not to do in the library. It is describing the rules through pictures and a poster.
