Ethically Evaluative
Tess Rice, Stop Racism, 2015
Ethically evaluative since it clearly depicts a desire for an ethical change pertaining to racism.
Interpretive
Gregory Scott, Impositions, 2012
This is a photograph that seems to have deeper meaning that is meant to be interpreted, and is based in realism, though not scientifically accurate.
Explanatory
Harold E. Edgerton, Acrobats, 1941
Meant to explain how something, in this case an acrobat, moves.
Aesthetically Evaluative
Ansel Adams, Yosemite Valley, 1935
It's a picture of a landscape, shot in a way that captures its beauty in a beautiful way for the purposes of observation.
Theoretical
Richard Prince, Untitled, 2014
This is a photograph of an Instagram photo, essentially a photo of a photo, making it (supposedly) a commentary on the art of photography.
Descriptive
NASA, Suit Check, 1961
This is a photo for the purposes of documentation, it merely is a photo with no interpretive meaning or stylized technique, it has no message, it was simple taken for the history books. It is descriptive and nothing more.
