Image which show emotions or evoke them are powerful. But what kinds of emotions can be captured or portrayed in a photograph? How about these, just to get started:

• Anger
• Sadness
• Fear
• Love
• Loneliness
• Confusion
• Pride
• Jealousy
• Fatigue
• Dispair

What others can you think of?

Weekly photography challenge – emotions

Your challenge this week is to take a photo, or series of them, that pull at the emotions. It might be a person and their expression, or an inanimate object. Lighting, lens selection, and camera angle can all affect mood in an image, so choose carefully and purposefully to create emotional images.

This does not mean images of people pretending to cry or be angry – no real emotions. A baby’s giggling face when it’s tickled, the pleasure of a great meal or coffee, genuine real emotion. Include a person or not – it’s your choice.

Share your emotional images here:

Simply upload your shot into the comment field (look for the little camera icon in the Disqus comments section) and they’ll get embedded for us all to see or if you’d prefer upload them to your favourite photo sharing site and leave the link to them. Show me your best images in this week’s challenge. Sometimes it takes a while for an image to appear so be patient and try not to post the same image twice.
