Voice can be found in photographs and paintings. The subjects in the photos and paintings can have a specific mood, which gives a certain voice to it. Like in the "Migrant Mother", the mother's face was full of worry and despair, which gave the whole photo that kind of voice: a voice of desperation. A photo with a happy kid would give the whole photo a bright, happy voice. A painting of a scary wooden old house would give it a spooky, creepy kind of voice that gives you chills. Depending on the light and the subject, you feel like the photo has a different story to tell. And that's how there's voice in photos and paintings.

I drew this on a white board and took a picture of it, and added these effects to match the feeling I wanted in the drawing. It's a cold late-autumn day, and two people are talking together like they have all the time in the world. It's cold, but when they are together, it's warm. The voice is this comforting, in-a-cafe-talking-with-a-best-friend-on-a-cold-day kind of feel.
















This photograph depicts a house. The black-and-white-ness of the photo gives it a spooky look. It feels like it's telling me scary story of what happened to the inhabitants of the house, one unfortunate day.

This photo shows a cute little girl walking care-freely down the street. She's so happy to be enjoying her walk with her doll. I can just imagine the chorus of children laughing and at play. This photograph has a strong, adorable kind of voice. It's adventure, joy, and satisfaction of the day, all rolled in with a tint of cuteness.

This photograph, to me, portrays boredom at its worst. He is inside this old tattered house, and all the open doors give it an air of mystery and adventure, yet the boy sits there like there's absolutely nothing to do here. He's bored. Already sick and tired of the house. None of his friends here to play with. Nothing to do. All alone. These are the characteristics that will come through in the voice.

In this photograph you can hear the voice of the dog clearly: waiting. impatient. hoping. watching. He's probably waiting for his owner to come home. Through just the fact that he's waiting outside the door gives him so much more voice.
