The photos below depict twenty-five visual literacy terms. Although some photos may address more than one visual literacy term, I kept them in specific categories. I shot the photos in the Washington, DC area between the last week of January and 1st day of February 2023. For some photos I purposefully used different sizes to accentuate on the needed visual effect or expression.
