My take on Photography

In order for a photograph to be successful I believe that it has to be captivating and have a message behind it that the photographer is aiming to get across to their audience. However, it is not always as easy as it sounds to find the message that the photographer is trying to highlight and the audience often has to read the photograph in detail to find it. Different interpretations from different audiences will lead to various messages that could be portrayed in each piece. Photographs with unclear messages that are very hard to find can still be very engaging and successful pieces. Below are a few photographs that I believe to be visually appealing and also open a lot of questions such as 'What is the message?'
