Photographic metaphors (Carlos Walters)

One of the beauties of photography is that each photo can metaphorically represent or symbolise our emotions, values, or ways of seeing the world. This can be uplifting and motivational, and help us in the course of our lives. The great thing about this concept is that everyone will perceive photographs differently, and thus may all hold a different subjective meaning.


For me personally, the image of the barrel of a wave aesthetically symbolises the vortex of life: and the key is to persist (the task), until you make it out into the sunlight (the reward). Here is one of my barrel shots.
