Describing photos

1) The photo is in the countryside, probably in Norway judging by the appearance of the house, during a rain shower. The center of attention is a bright red house, seen in the foreground on the left. In the midground on the right is a large pair of scissors, which cut through the house and the ground. The person in the house is confused, the ground seems to billow or bow like cloth, but under the top layer it is solid. Aside from that, the only effect of the scissors is a clean cut, nothing seems too damaged or all that disturbed by the scissors. The house is a dim and dull red, when the rest of the image is dull dark greens, greys, and browns, making the white and red colors catch your eye. The countryside would normally seem friendly and inviting and friendly, but the grim appearance and the rain make it seem gloomy. It kinda seems to say that bad weather can cut through and destroy even the nicest places and make them sad and broken. It uses the dull empty grays to impose the dreariness of what's happening, and employs the direct cut through the landscape to really emphasize that the scissors will go directly through what's in their path .

2) This photo is also set in the countryside and shows a woman climbing up a ladder to hang laundry on powerlines, she is in the right foreground, in the background you see the top of a house over a small hill and some bushes. On the left the powerlines spread to the background and over the horizon line, it is simple unoccupied countryside, only the powerlines seem out of place. The woman seems unphased by the metal ladder on the powerlines, nothing seems unusual to her, all so ordinary, but it's not. The colors are vivid, but not excessively so, once again to make things seem ordinary. I think the message is that technology is invading  nature and taking over a old way of life and people are adopting it but still keeping their old ways at the same time, like its slowly seeping in.

3) In the foreground, slightly to the left, there is a girl, just chilling in some boots, and behind her is a sunset, to the right there are footprints. She is walking over a field away from a farm in the far right background. She looks like a jockey, holding the laces like reigns, and she looks happy. The viewer's attention is focused on the boots and the woman riding in them. The photo is set during a sunrise, or sunset. The other shoe is in the very center, with the sun directly behind it. The woman is alone, in only one boot, walking away from what is presumably her home, and the sun. Perhaps she is happy because she is getting her first taste of freedom as an adult, in her adult shoes, but really she is still young and only able to fill half of the role as an adult. The sunrise might actually be a sunset, supposed to be disguised.

4) In the upper 3rd there is a man and a bike, in the middle the trail he is riding sharply drops and continues in the lower section. The viewers focus is on the drop, so is the man's. Just like the man we are confused, how did this happen?

It uses symbolism to represent the feeling of "so close yet so far", the man can see the trail continuing but there is a impassible obstacle in the way.

5) In the center and right 3rds there is a man painting, and in the left you see a bit of what he is painting. The photographer uses a sort of optical illusion. The man, where he covers the canvas, becomes part of the painting, missing his right arm since he couldn’t paint it on, and he has yet to paint his hair. The viewer's attention is on the man. The photographer uses blues and grays for the majority of the photo. He likely wants to show how much an artist puts themselves into their work.
