8. Another Day Another Dollar

Interestingly, this photo captures both the literal and metaphorical meaning of the quote. Someone is handing over to the young man a dollar which represents a person receiving another dollar for another day. However, the young man's expression, which is mostly bored and plain represents the plainness of everyday life and routines. The lighting is once again natural, but I added a sepia effect to lionize the boring quality of everyday routines. I believe this photo is not as entertaining, but has potential to be entertaining.

This photo is successful but I can make it better.

7. The Lesser of Two Evils

Obviously, the lesser--in this case the lessers--of two evils in this photo are the two girls donning the maroon jerseys. This photo was taken during SCPA's spirit week and I thought it would be clever to shoot this quote at the time, especially since the competition was between the Seniors and the Juniors. The girls in maroon are the Juniors and the girls in white are the Seniors. As you can also see, the girls are in the poses of lions about to pounce and fight signifying dangerous beasts that are evil but one is lesser (maroon) than the other (white). The lighting is natural with a slightly shallow depth of field.

I believe this photo is a successful installment in my series because it's literal and entertaining!

6. Don't Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

To emphasize "biting off more than you can chew" I asked the models to stuff as much food as possible into their mouths, to the point where the food begins to spill out but remains in their mouths. The models are also holding onto their desired food items to represent gluttony and their great insatiable hunger. I used a shallow depth of field and close up angle shots to put emphasis on their mouths and foods. The lighting is natural lighting since the location is in a cafeteria. The photo is humorous to me.

This image is successful but I could have made it better. Again, I am aiming to shoot the literal meanings of cliche quotes and sayings for entertainment purposes.
