 These photos are two of calendar photo project in famous Korea comedy program 'Muhandojeon'. In this project, theme of July was anti-war. Those two photographs are photos of Jeong Jun-Ha and Yoo Jae-Seok who are members of this program. These photographs became popular after this project. There are many differences between two photographs in part of angle and mood, also have common things.

 

 First photograph is picture of Jeong Jun-Ha. Actually this photograph won the competition that for deciding the main photo of calendar. He acted a soldier who was shot during the battle. He is emphasized in the middle of the photo and his face is on the top of the picture so expression comes to his face. Blurry and dark background forms a striking contrast with red blood and face. The mood is stillness and sensitive.

 

 Second photograph is picture of Yoo Jae-Seok. He acted with his colleague and expressed the moment of dying. In this picture, he is shot while trying to rescue his friend in battle field. Flutter dust and bent waist are very dynamic and they make the picture seems like a still cut of the real battle. He and his colleague are in the middle of the photo and flying fragments emphasize them. Dropped gun and helmet make the picture more naturally.

 

 These two photos are pictures that express the sadness and horribleness of war. While first picture handle the soldier's emotion who are dying, second picture show the moment of death. Angles and moods are different but both of them seem like old picture because they use dark achromatic colors. Dirty and messy background emphasizes the mood of war.

 

 Angle, background and color are language of photographs. Photo expresses their meaning through these elements. One of my friends who love taking photo said 'Good photo doesn't come from good plan. It comes from perfect moments.' Pro photographers are good at making perfect moment. They take pictures and say many stories without words. Because photographs still stay with us as a good messenger.
