Personal definition of 'personal opinions': a judgement or belief that an individual holds that is specific and personal to themselves.



This photograph represents the feminist movement, and how feminists believe that it is your own choice as to what you do with your body and nobody else's. The image connotes freedom and empowerment as the woman is appearing to take control of her body and is making this statement in a very obvious and clear way. The use of showing skin and the lack of colour makes you focus solely on the quote, making the impact of it greater.


We can tell that this image is making a statement about environmental crisis. The use of the sentence "nature was here" implies that we are ruining and killing nature by replacing it with manmade buildings. The impact this image is trying to make is that we should leave nature alone and make our own communities and build our own buildings in places that will not damage the natural surroundings.


This image has a subtle but powerful message about the beauty standards in society that are placed on women. The woman in the picture appears to be crying, but instead of tears they have been replaced by blue glitter. This connotes how women must be seen as beautiful and glamorous no matter the situation and is trying to convey the stress and sadness that women feel when they do not meet societies beauty expectations.


The photographer of this image has taken this picture in order to show how technology - specifically smart phones - are taking over our lives and alienating us from the world around us. Two out of three of the women in this picture are sitting on their phones with their heads down, not taking in whats around them or talking to anybody. This shows how people are now attached to their phones and almost live behind them rather than in the real world.
