Exercise 39: Evidence of Action























The brief asks for a photograph "in which it can be seen that something has happened."  It is part of a discussion on illustration, the ability to tell a story in a single image, and the difficulties of conveying abstract ideas.

The photograph above was shot in an abandoned house in the Jumeirah area of Dubai.

As part of this exercise we are also asked to cite "examples of concepts regularly depicted in advertising and publicity which cannot be shown directly."
Security:  locks, keys, police, surveillance cameras
Beauty:  young females with soft skin
Health:  doctors, exercise, food with high nutritional value
Career:  ladders, road signs, big sky, people in suits, handshakes, bar graphs with upward pointing arrows
