There isn't much meaning behind photos of a glass of water. However, that allows for analysis of the very cool effects the light has on the water and the shadows that it makes from various angles/intensities. The first photograph is very bland and boring, since the light source creates no shadows. The second photo is interesting in that there is an interesting light coming off the bottom left of the glass. The third photo creates an exhibitionist look since the light is coming from above, along with the shadow forming a circle. The fourth photo has many things going on: the shadow is expanded massively, while the waterline is refracted so much it shows on the bottom of the wall, despite the waterlevel being on top. The fifth photo is interesting since the water itself is illuminated, and the water is the only thing to cast a shadow onto the wall. The 6th and last photo is my favourite. The lighting contrasts almost perfectly with the shadow of the glass, and the shadow appears almost menacing. This is likely due to the shadow being larger than the glass and of a dark colour. This photo could potentially have some meaning, as it could cast the glass of water as something that is safe on the outside but is hiding something dangerous. Through all the photos there was a very cool line effect, where various patterns would form in the shadow of the glass. This could be used in other photos subtly (I.E. via non-subjects) or directly, as does the 6th photograph.
