Emotional Photos: Rage
I had such difficulty coming up with an emotion to depict in my photos without making it too easy and generic, like "happy" or "sad." While Skyping with my best friend, she told me, "You have to do rage!" I thought it would be interesting, so I went along with it. It turned out to be a lot more difficult than I thought. I got my close friends and parents to help me out,however, they are not necessarily people who are filled with rage. It was hard to capture them without a smile. Even in the best ones you can kind of detect a hint of a grin. But having such a challenge is what made this assignment more entertaining to do.

I agree with your assessment that your subjects lack authenticity. The most effective people shots are #5 and #8. I believe #5 especially when juxtaposed with the inanimate objects, all of which work. #8 is nicely staged, too bad there is a hint of a smile on the subject. Increased contrast would help sell the emotion. #10 is interesting and a good example of ambiguous space. I can't really make out the background. Nice job.
